During pregame introductions for Tuesday's game between the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics, fans at the TD Garden were noticeably cheering Jazz star Gordon Hayward, which caused Celtics forward Jae Crowder to criticize them.
Crowder, who has been with the team since 2014, issued this response on Twitter following the game:
HOME TEAM FANS CHEERING FOR THE OPPOSING PLAYERS NOW.. AW MAN OK... SMH BUT GOOD WIN FELLAS ONTO THE NEXT ONE.!!

Crowder expanded on his thoughts after the game in the locker room, taking the fans' feelings toward Hayward as an attack on him.
