Irving: No Pressure With Game-Winners

There’s no pressure [with taking game-winning shots] unless you’re unprepared. It’s a game of percentages. If you miss the first, you have to tell yourself ‘I’ll get the next one.’ It’s all about feel and having confidence in your teammates. It’s a team game.

– Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving, Monday, following the team’s practice. Irving hit what would amount to be the game-winning lay-up against the Boston Celtics with 2.8 seconds remaining. Irving claims to have hit game-winners in his past and was quick to point out that the team has an upcoming game this Tuesday when Boston comes back to Cleveland.
