Should Kyrie Irving have engaged with Celtics fans?
Kyrie Irving didn't mince words during his back-and-forth with Celtics fans Sunday. Should he have been the bigger person?APRIL 18, 2022
Scores 14 points off bench Dragic finished Sunday's 115-114 loss to the Celtics with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes.
Impact After missing the final five contests of the regular season while he was in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Dragic was cleared for Tuesday's play-in game against the Cavaliers, but he was limited to just 10 minutes in the Nets' 115-108 victory. However, the extra time off prior to the Nets' postseason opener allowed Dragic to regain condition, and the veteran guard looked good Sunday while notching his first double-digit scoring outing since March 16. When the lefty point guard has played at least 25 minutes this season, he's averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.

Another strong performance Claxton notched 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 115-114 loss to Boston.
Impact Claxton came off the bench but played 14 more minutes and outproduced Andre Drummond, who drew the start. Over his last three games, the lefty big man has averaged 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.0 assists in 27.7 minutes per game.

Lackluster production in loss Durant registered 23 points (9-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 115-114 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Durant struggled from the field and committed six turnovers during a rare off night in the playoffs. While he was able to score at least 20 points for a fifth straight game, Brooklyn desperately missed Durant's playmaking abilities down the stretch. After dishing out 50 assists over the Nets' previous five games, Durant totaled just three Sunday. Boston's elite defense had Durant hesitant from the start, but the former MVP will look to bounce back Wednesday during Game 2.

Stellar Game 1 performance Irving recorded 39 points (12-20 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals in 42 minutes during Sunday's 115-114 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Irving was extremely efficient en route to his third straight game with at least 30 points. The point guard finished with at least five rebounds and five assists in the same game for the fourth time over his last five appearances, and he also tied his season high with four steals. Since becoming a full-time player 12 games ago, Irving has averaged 28.5 points, 7.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 40.8 minutes per game.
