Before the season commenced, the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors were already being earmarked as potential contenders in the Eastern Conference, vying for the throne long held by LeBron James. The Raptors have shown their strength early on, while the Celtics have faced some early struggles, particularly in offense.
In a recent game, the Raptors controlled the proceedings for the first three quarters at TD Garden, but Kyrie Irving had different plans. He put up an impressive 43-point performance, including 23 points in the crucial fourth quarter, along with 11 assists, leading the Celtics to a 123-116 victory.
Following the win, Irving highlighted the importance of such games in the regular season, where teams are tested on the basketball court, enhancing their skills and competitiveness. He stressed the need for seizing opportunities like these to the fullest.
