The Nets’ Tuesday night win against the Cavaliers solidified their spot as the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and will now face the Celtics in the first round of the postseason.
The matchup will be a reunion of sorts. Nets star Kyrie Irving left Boston for Brooklyn and he’ll face some of his former teammates this upcoming series. Before Game 1, Celtics star Jayson Tatum addressed what he learned from Irving and shared what the star point guard has told him behind closed doors.
“Obviously, we’ve talked and there’s some things that he probably would’ve done differently, but I think that’s just a part of life,” he said. “Nobody’s perfect, and you just gotta move on from it as you get older.”
