Following a dramatic 115-114 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday, the Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant says he doesn’t think his teammate Kyrie Irving, who played for the Celtics from 2017 to 2019, worries about what the Boston crowd says about him:

“Tonight, the shot-making, just controlling the game for us, was incredible. That’s what we’re gonna need going forward. No matter where he’s at, I think he’s the same player.”
