Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving: Scores team-high 26 in Tuesday's win

Irving scored 26 points (9-14 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding six assists and a rebound in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 128-96 rout of the Pistons.

Analysis:

It's the fewest minutes he's played since a loss on Boxing Day, coincidentally also against the Pistons, but Irving still extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 16. Kevin Love (knee) is getting close to returning to action, but that's more likely to provide Irving with additional assist opportunities than it will slow down his scoring pace.
