The Brooklyn Nets put a beatdown on the Boston Celtics on Sunday night, but an ugly incident with Kyrie Irving is the headline. As Irving was leaving the court, a fan tossed a water bottle at him in the tunnel.

There’s no love lost between Irving and Celtics fans. He insinuated that Boston fans were racist earlier this week, leading to a discussion about race relations between fans and players in the city.
