Kyrie Irving spoke about a fan throwing a water bottle at him as he was leaving the court after Game 4
Boos are one thing, chants are another, but what happened at the end of Boston Celtics-Brooklyn Nets Game 4 was unacceptable.
After helping the Nets to a 141-126 victory, Kyrie Irving had a water bottle tossed at him by a fan at TD Garden on his way down the tunnel.

The fan was promptly identified and arrested by TD Garden security. On Monday he was charged with one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He will appear in Boston Municipal Court on Tuesday.
It's the latest of multiple incidents in the NBA involving inappropriate fan conduct. During Washington Wizards-Philadelphia 76ers Game 2, a Philly fan dumped popcorn on Russell Westbrook's head as he exited the court with an injury. A Utah Jazz fan made lewd, racist comments toward Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's parents during Game 2 of their series.
Sunday night marked TD Garden's first game at full capacity since early March 2020.
