It's not often a guard can pour in 31 points on 13-of-17 shooting and be outplayed by his opponent, but that is exactly what happened to Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving on Monday.

Jamal Murray exploded for 48 points on 19-of-30 shooting from the field and 5-of-11 from deep to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 115-107 victory over Boston at Pepsi Center. The Kentucky product added five rebounds and four assists and took over the game in crunch time.
