Kyrie Irving scores a career-high 60 points in blowout of Magic

A day after Karl-Anthony Towns became the first player of the 2021-22 season to score 60 points in a game, Kyrie Irving matched his effort Tuesday in a 150-108 destruction of the Orlando Magic.

Irving made 20 of his 31 shots on the night and was successful on eight of his 12 tries from beyond the three-point arc. In addition to his 60 points, Irving had six rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one block.

By halftime, Irving had 41 points, making him one of only three players in the last 25 years to score at least 40 in a first half. With the game well in hand, Irving scored his last points of the game with more than eight minutes left and watched the remainder of the blowout from the bench.
