Kyrie Irving was on the defensive following the Boston Celtics’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4.
The Celtics now face a 3-1 deficit in their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Bucks after losing 113-101 on Monday. Over the past three games, Irving has struggled with his shot, going 19-for-62, including a 7-for-22 performance in Game 4.
When asked to comment on his struggles following Game 4, Irving responded that he should perhaps be shooting even more.
After their Game 4 loss, Kyrie was asked about going 19-62 FG over the last 3 games.

Irving is the Celtics’ best player. If they are going to claw their way back into the series, the six-time All-Star will likely play a major role.
Even though he has been struggling with his shot recently, scorers only know one way to get themselves out of a slump, which is to keep shooting. Boston can only hope Irving’s shots start falling with more regularity in Game 5.
