The Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets had a pretty entertaining series opener on Easter Sunday when Jayson Tatum was able to score at the buzzer to lift the Celtics to a Game 1 win.
Tatum was able to lift the C’s to the emotional win despite 39 points from former Celtics star, now villain, Kyrie Irving. Uncle Drew dropped 18 points 7-for-9 shooting and 4-for-5 from deep in the fourth quarter alone to keep the Nets in the game and he eventually gave them the lead.
Irving also dealt with a lot of hostility from Celtics fans who were upset with how he left and he then stomped on the logo in the 2021 playoffs. He threw up a couple of middle fingers and then had a very colorful postgame press conference when discussing the incidents.
