NEW YORK - Kyrie Irving scored 40 points to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 121-109 victory over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. After Boston cut the lead to five following Tatum’s jumper, Irving and Harris checked back into the game and the Nets promptly outscored Boston 21-14 for the remainder of the game. He played 21 minutes after Boston coach Brad Stevens said before the game that the guard would be limited to 20-22. “Everyone’s excited to have him,” Nets coach Steve Nash said before the game.
