Irving's clutch time stats are absolutely ridiculous...proves he's the MVP.
Irving's per-36-minute averages in those situations (Last 5 minutes of a game) look fake: 66.0 points, 9.4 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks, 57.4-percent shooting. The sample size is tiny at this stage of the season, of course. But over 30 minutes of clutch time, Irving has scored an insane 55 points.
With Irving on the court, the Celtics' fourth-quarter offense has jumped from 103.5 points per 100 possessions to 119.8.
