Game by Game Highlights

Game 1: The Early Dominator

PPG: A jaw-dropping 34.6 to set the tone.

FG%: Scorching at 54.2%, Kyrie shows why he’s a nightmare for unprepared defenses.

3PT%: A ridiculous 51.8%, draining step-backs like it’s a warmup drill.

APG: 9.5, proving he can set the table when needed.

Stocks/Game: 2.6, wreaking havoc on both ends of the floor.


Game 3: The Adjuster

PPG: Drops to 29.9, still elite but showing signs of defensive adjustments.

FG%: Falls to 46.8%, tougher shots against locked-in defenses.

3PT%: Hits a slump at 35.5%, finally looking human.

APG: 8.0, slowing down as a facilitator.

Stocks/Game: 1.7, big drop off but still maintaining defensive effort despite offensive struggles.


Game 4: The Mid-Series Blender

PPG: Rebounds to 32.1, taking defenders to school.

FG%: Back up to 50.1%, proving he can adjust too.

3PT%: Red-hot at 48.5%, reconnecting with his inner sharpshooter.

APG: 9.9, making defenses pay for doubling him.

RPG: 5.4, staying active on the boards.

Stocks/Game: 1.8, disrupting passing lanes like clockwork.


Game 5: The Clutch Climber

PPG: Climbs to 32.9, with the stakes rising.

FG%: A steady 49.7%, showing his ability to handle pressure.

3PT%: Dips to 40.3%, still reliable in crunch time.

APG: 9.1, keeping the offense flowing.


Game 7: The Spotlight Dims

Win %: A shocking 33.3%! Kyrie’s Achilles’ heel?

PPG: Falls to 28.6, a noticeable dip under do-or-die pressure.

FG%: Drops to 42.8%, defenses keying in on him.

3PT%: Slips further to 36.3%, uncharacteristically off the mark.

APG: 9.1, still facilitating despite struggles.

RPG: 5.0, holding steady on the glass.

Stocks/Game: 1.9, his defense holding the line even in tough losses.


Kyrie Irving’s reputation in the SLN as the ultimate Game 7 weapon takes a hit when you dig into the numbers. While his career averages paint him as an unstoppable force, Game 7s tell a different story. His PPG drops to 28.6, nearly three points below his playoff average, and his efficiency falters, with FG% falling to 42.8% and 3PT% to 36.3%. Add in a shocking 33.3% win rate in these do-or-die games, and the myth of Kyrie as the ultimate closer starts to unravel. He’s still a player you want in high-pressure situations, but the idea of him being unstoppable in Game 7s? The numbers just don’t back it up.

Pain. Agony. Suffering. Distress. Hurt. Torment. Misery. Anguish. Ache. Discomfort. Grief. Woe. Affliction. Throbbing. Malaise. Sting. Twinge. Cramp. Soreness. Smarting. Tightness.
