Kyrie Irving will again sit out Tuesday’s game at the Denver Nuggets on the second night of a back-to-back, but he is preparing as if that’s the last game he misses this season. Irving will return to the starting lineup tonight when the Cavs play at the Phoenix Suns. “That’ll be the last time I sit out back-to-backs,” he said, “and hopefully the last two games I miss for the rest of the season.” The Cavs don’t have another back-to-back scheduled for more than two weeks when they play at the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets in mid-January.

Michael Reinsdorf has said it. Arturas Karnisovas has said it. They still have the power to pay him more than any other franchise.”

As the game wears on, some of that energy, some of that intensity starts to wear off, so the game opens up a little bit. The game opened up for me in the second half. “I didn’t want to get down. I didn’t want to look into the past, think that this game was over. My team needed me to come out and respond. “First half was s—. Threw it away. [Just] come out, play basketball in the second half.”

Boston’s path to this moment has not been the idyllic storybook tale — at least not yet — but it has been awfully effective just the same. “The mental stress and strain we put on some teams with our defense has worked and carried us through the playoffs at times,” Udoka said. “You saw in the Brooklyn [Nets] series, guys started to wear down. Game 7, [Giannis] Antetokounmpo slowed down some. But having all those bodies to continue to throw at people wears down on them.”
