The 6 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Anthony Davis Downs the Pistons
Without Boogie Cousins, the Brow had no problem with the Pistons' front line. Who else had a top performance last week?

2. Kyrie Irving vs. Atlanta Hawks

On that same Friday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers gave up 130 points to the Atlanta Hawks. So, they lost, right? Wrong. They had Kyrie Irving.

Irving scored 43 points on a masterful 14 of 21 shooting from the field. He was 5 of 8 from three in the Cavs' record-setting performance, as he individually shot to a true shooting of 84.6%. But Irving did much more than shoot and score in this one, racking up nine assists and four steals in 35 minutes.

LeBron James had a good game of his own (38 points), but Irving's 63.58 nERD is more than three times James' mark of 19.47. The Cavs pulled out the close win by five points.
