On paper, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving’s 45 points on 16-of-30 shooting against the Atlanta Hawks looks great.
However, as Cavs analyst Austin Carr put it, the team actually suffered greatly due to the heavy reliance on the point guard’s scoring on the offensive side of the ball.
Albeit Irving’s big night, the Cavs fell to the Hawks for the second game in a row by a 126-125 score in overtime.
Watch as Carr breaks it down below.
