Things are going very well for the Boston Celtics. Despite the absence of Gordon Hayward, Brad Stevens’ team sits atop the Eastern Conference standings after a red-hot stretch and, in short, the duo of Kyrie Irving and Al Horford has wasted no time in clicking at a very high level.

On Tuesday evening, the Celtics went into Brooklyn and calmly took care of the business against the Nets in a game that would not have drawn much fanfare under normal circumstances. It was the 13th consecutive victory for Boston, though, and that brought a bit of extra attention to the proceedings.

On cue, Irving elected to celebrate the landmark win by handing off his jersey and shoes to members of the military that were courtside after the game was complete.

This is a simple yet tremendous gesture from Irving, who finished the evening with a game-high 25 points, and the move should draw a universal approval rating. While not everyone is in love with Irving’s off-court renaissance, it is undeniable that he is playing incredibly well on the hardwood and, frankly, it was inconceivable that the Celtics would look like this in the aftermath of losing Hayward.

Kyrie Irving has it going in a big way but, on Tuesday, he passed along some of his positive current mojo to those who serve our country.
