Celtics subdue KD, Kyrie for 2-0 lead

Celtics fans got under Kyrie Irving's skin in the opening game of their first-round matchup with the Nets.

It was Boston's defense that kept him－and Kevin Durant－off balance in Game 2. Jaylen Brown scored 22 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics rallied from 17 points down to beat Brooklyn 114-107 on Wednesday night and take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.

Jayson Tatum added 19 points for Boston, which held Durant without a basket in the second half. Al Horford had 16 points, Daniel Theis scored 15 and Payton Pritchard had eight of his 10 in the final period.
