‘[It’s] just underlying racism, and treating people like they’re in a human zoo,’ Kyrie Irving said after a water bottle was thrown at him following Brooklyn’s 141-126 victory over the Celtics on Sunday night. As Irving walked off the court, he was nearly hit by a bottle thrown from the stands. Police quickly surrounded a man before leading him out in handcuffs. ‘Your mother wouldn’t be proud of you throwing water bottles at basketball players, or spitting on players or tossing popcorn,’ Nets forward Kevin Durant said: ‘So grow the fuck up and enjoy the game. It’s bigger than you.’
