The Celtics ended the Nets’ title hopes by sweeping them in the first round (4-0). But there seems to be no hard feelings between Brooklyn’s superstar Kyrie Irving and the players of his former team in Boston.
The 30-year-old point guard took to Twitter to congratulate the Celtics and wish them all the best in their path through the playoffs.
“We didn’t get the result we wanted, but I wanted to congratulate my brothers in that Celtics locker room. They earned the series Win and I wish them well as they advance. Nothing but love competing against them,” Irving tweeted.
The Celtics will face either the Bucks or the Bulls in the second round. Currently Milwaukee leads the series 3-1.
