Kyrie Irving was not great in October and shot just 42.7 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from long range. However, he is now looking like his usual self and had two 30-point games this month, before this game. Playing against the Raptors, he did all he could to help the Celtics beat the Raptors.

With Kawhi being sensational, Boston needed Kyrie at his absolute best and that is how he delivered. He scored 43 points on hot 18-for-26 shooting, with a field-goal percentage of 69.2 to give Boston, their second-straight win.
