Collin Sexton Scores Career-High 42 PTS With 20 Straight PTS In OT & 2OT To Lift Cavaliers
Cleveland’s Collin Sexton scored 42 and led the Cavaliers to a 147-135 double-overtime win on Wednesday night
Cleveland’s Collin Sexton scored 42 and led the Cavaliers to a 147-135 double-overtime win on Wednesday night.
Sexton made four 3-pointers — most of them over Irving — and scored 15 points in the second OT. He dropped two 3s and fed Taurean Prince for another in a dizzying, 55-second span as Cleveland put it away.
“He played out of his mind,” said Cavs forward Cedi Osman, who scored 25. “It was amazing.”
While it was tough to lose, Irving was impressed by Sexton, who looked a lot like Irving on one of his scoring tears.
‘”Two overtimes for my first game back?” said Irving, who played a career-high 48 minutes in his first game since Jan. 5. “You gotta love NBA ball, though. I was smiling when Collin Sexton was making those shots.”
