Kyrie Irving's Celtics sit atop the league's highest perch at 16-2.

After surviving last night's OT tilt in DAL, BOS is picking up Ws in a variety of ways - is Kyrie in the MVP discussion?

47 pts! & 6 dimes, W

K. Irving's highest scoring game as a Celtic, whilst wearing a mask & helping his team overcome a late deficit, was one of the best performances of the young season.

Extending long streaks always takes a bit of luck + timely scoring & overall consistency - as long as BOS continues to compete & set a defensive tone, K. Irving is perfectly set up for his role as closer.
