Kyrie Irving steps up with LeBron James out with 28-point first half

The Cavs' point guard started the game 0-for-7... and ended up with 28 points in the half.

LeBron came back and the Cavs started winning. So with LeBron out for tonight's game against a very good Portland team, their seven-game losing streak is doomed, right? Not if Kyrie Irving has something to say about it:

Irving started out 0-for-7 but hit eight of his last nine shots to give Cleveland a 54-44 lead at the half. He's 6-for-8 from beyond the arc, including the two up there. Even the Trail Blazers have to give it up:

The point guard for the @cavs is having quite the first half.
