Boston Celtics fans, avert your eyes. Kyrie Irving is at it again.

The Cavaliers point guard scored 17 points in the first half of Monday’s Game 1 between the Cavs and Chicago Bulls’ in the Eastern Conference semifinals, including a stretch with 10 consecutive points.

Irving razzled and dazzled his way to a four-game sweep of the Celtics last month, and it seems he’s up to the same tricks Monday night vs. the Bulls.

See the incredible play that served as a microcosm of Irving's first half here.

The Cavaliers led the Bulls, 49-44, at halftime. Bulls point guard Derrick Rose went toe-to-toe with Irving to begin the night, scoring 16 points in the first half.
