The Nets beat the short-handed Raptors on Wednesday night.
"It doesn't take too much," Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said of Irving."He's gifted, talented, and can score on any court. He got a couple to go his way and once that happens, off you go."
With the Nets ahead 52-51 at halftime, Irving connected on his first seven field-goal attempts in the third. "That's what we want him to do," Simmons said."Just be himself, have that confidence to come out and take those shots and be who he is. He's an incredible player, incredible teammate."Irving had two higher-scoring halves last season. He scored 41 in the first half at Orlando on March 15, finishing with 60 points. That came one week after Irving scored 30 in the second half at Charlotte, finishing with 50 against the Hornets.
