Irving said after scoring a team-high 39 points in 42 minutes. &#8220;It&#8217;s nothing new when I come into this building what it&#8217;s going to be like &#8212; but it&#8217;s the same energy they have for me, I&#8217;m going to have the same energy for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it&#8217;s not every fan, I don&#8217;t want to attack every fan, every Boston fan. When people start yelling &#8216;p&#8212;y&#8217; or &#8216;b&#8212;-&#8216; and &#8216;f&#8212; you&#8217; and all this stuff, there&#8217;s only but so much you take as a competitor. We&#8217;re the ones expected to be docile and be humble, take a humble approach, f&#8212; that, it&#8217;s the playoffs. This is what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know what to expect in here,&#8221; Irving said after Sunday&#8217;s game. &#8220;And it&#8217;s the same energy I&#8217;m giving back to them. It is what it is. I&#8217;m not really focused on it, it&#8217;s fun, you know what I&#8217;m saying? Where I&#8217;m from I&#8217;ve dealt with so much, so coming in here you relish it as a competitor. &#8230; This isn&#8217;t my first time at TD Garden so what you guys saw, what you guys think is entertainment, or the fans think is entertainment, all is fair in competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if somebody&#8217;s going to call me out on my name, I&#8217;m gonna look at them straight in the eye and see if they really &#8217;bout it. Most of the time they&#8217;re not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the &#8220;energy&#8221; from the Boston crowd brought out the best in his game, Irving was quick with an answer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Embrace it,&#8221; Irving said. &#8220;Embrace it.
