Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets was quite a high-scoring affair, but postgame was where the real fireworks began. After the Nets put the Celtics on the brink of elimination with a 141-126 victory in Boston, Kyrie Irving made his presence known.
Postgame video showed the former Celtics point guard stepping on the Boston logo at midcourt, seemingly wiping his shoe on the logo as he congratulated his teammates after the game.
The bad blood between Irving and his former team (and their fans) has been well documented since he left Boston in free agency in 2019 to join Brooklyn, but his latest incident will add even more fuel to that fire.

This incident also preceded the one that happened just moments later, where a Celtics fan was arrested and banned for life after tossing a water bottle at Irving and his Nets teammates as they were exiting the court.
Irving posted 39 points and 11 rebounds in Game 4 for the Nets as Brooklyn took a 3-1 series hold over Boston.
