Celtics thunder back for best-looking win of season.

It is not perfect, but the Celtics growl to win the best of the season.

Kyrie Irving said that we battled. We took away some of the things that they were comfortable in our first half and rhythm and defensive pressure. And then everything started to go our way, and then we just kept fighting to the end. He also said that "End of the game, that's winning time".

Irving missed eight of the nine shots he had missed and did not score until Boston relegated to 18th and two minutes left in the second quarter.

On this night, Horford also was 8 of 10 shooting overall, and he made all four of his 3-pointers. Alfred Joel Horford Reynoso was on born June 3, 1986. He is a Dominican professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

More infor about Kyrie Irving:

Kyrie Andrew Irving is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was named NBA Rookie of the Year after being selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft. A four-time NBA All-Star, Irving was selected to the All-NBA Third Team in 2015. He won an NBA Championship with the Cavaliers in 2016.

In 2016, Irving helped Team USA win the gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. With the win, he became just the fourth member of Team USA to capture the NBA championship and an Olympic gold medal in the same year, joining LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen.

On August 22, 2017, Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Žižić, and the rights to the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round draft pick. Eight days later, the Celtics agreed to send the Cavaliers a 2020 second-round draft pick via the Miami Heat to complete the trade, as compensation for Thomas' failed physical.

In his debut for the Celtics in their season opener against the Cavaliers on October 17, 2017, Irving had 22 points and 10 assists in a 102–99 loss.

On October 30, 2017, he scored 24 points for the third straight game in helping the Celtics defeat the San Antonio Spurs 108–94. It was the Celtics' first win over the Spurs since 2011. Irving's 128 points in his first six games as a Celtic.
