    To Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens, Kyrie Irving's pair of 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds of overtime -- the first from in front of his team's bench; the second from straightaway, 31 feet out -- were "amazing."

    To the man contesting both of those key shots, Washington Wizardspoint guard John Wall, they were "incredible."

    To Irving himself? He was a lot more matter-of-fact, saying: "I was just trying to win the game."

    Did just that, too. Serenaded on the road by chants of "MVP!" in the closing seconds, Irving scored Boston's last 12 points to finish with 38, and the undermanned Celtics extended their winning streak to seven games with a 130-125 victory over the Wizards on Wednesday night.
