Crowder said he wasn't pleased with fans cheering for Jazz forward Gordon Hayward before the game.

Hayward played for Celtics coach Brad Stevens in college at Butler, but it's still peculiar the Celtics fans — normally a hostile crowd — were openly cheering for Hayward. Hayward scored 23 points in the loss, while Crowder scored 21.
