Kevin Durant reacts to Glen Davis threatening Kyrie Irving after he was seen stepping on Celtics logo

Several former Boston Celtics players have taken offense to Kyrie Irving stomping on the Celtics’ logo after the Brooklyn Nets win in Game 4 of their playoff series.

Kevin Garnett took a shot at Irving’s actions on Instagram, and former Celtics forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis chimed in by taking a shot at Irving.

Nets forward Kevin Durant came to the defense of his teammate with a NSFW response on Instagram.

Irving’s gesture has blown up into much more than it should have, but it’s clear that Durant doesn’t seem to think it was a big deal.

The Nets are now up 3-1 in their first-round series with the Celtics, and will have a chance to take Game 5 on Tuesday to win the series.

Irving has averaged 24.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game during this season’s playoffs. He finished Game 4 against his former team with 39 points and 11 boards on Sunday.
