Boston Celtics fan arrested after allegedly throwing water bottle at Kyrie Irving

BOSTON -- A Boston Celtics fan who threw a water bottle apparently at Kyrie Irving's head as he was leaving the court at TD Garden following the Brooklyn Nets' 141-126 victory on Sunday night has been arrested, according to a statement from TD Garden.

The fan was escorted out of the arena by Boston police, and was arrested "for throwing an object,'' according to the statement.

The bottle narrowly missed Irving, who was walking toward the tunnel after his 39-point performance helped give Brooklyn a 3-1 series lead over the Celtics.
