When Kyrie stood at the free-throw line, the people responsible for the Pistons' in-game graphics put on a video of a spinning globe. The next time a graphic of 'Happy Hanukkah' was seen on the arena cube.

Both gestures were related to Irving's character and recent scandals. The player is known to be a devout believer in the flat Earth theory while the Hanukkah celebration graphic was aimed at Irving's recent incident when he posted a link to a movie that featured antisemitic ideas.

Detroit has a notable Jewish community, hence, it was not an accident that the Pistons decided to take a shot at Irving.

The Nets won the match with Irving scoring 38 points and going 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. Kevin Durant added 43 points.
