The Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving hit nine 3-pointers and scored a season-high 50 points in the Nets victory over the Charlotte Hornets (132-121) on Tuesday night.

After the game, the Nets forward Kevin Durant gave Kyrie Irving’s 50 point performance a round of applause: “I’ve been saying it – it’s pure. Everything he does is pure.”
