Irving’s performance was particularly remarkable because he had been fasting for the month of Ramadan. Speaking about how he was able to put on a stellar show while fasting, the 30-year-old said ”It’s a journey we got and I’m not alone in this. I have brothers and sisters all around the world that are fasting with me. We hold our prayers and our meditations very sacred.

Kyrie Irving has been in excellent form since rejoining the Brooklyn Nets as a full-time player. His scoring ability is no secret, and his brilliant performance against the Cavs confirmed it yet again. Kyrie Irving played his first game for the Brooklyn Nets on January 9.

Brooklyn lost a lot of games in the midst of all of this. They had a stronghold over the top section of the Eastern Conference. However, an 11-game losing streak sent them to the bottom of the table. The Brooklyn Nets had a fantastic offense, but their defense could use some work. It all boiled down to the final few games after a string of disappointments.
