The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers have a long-lasting rivalry when it comes to sports, and while Celtics star Jaylen Brown can appreciate that, he didn't have time for some of the harassment Sixers fans threw his way on Saturday night.

Following the Celtics' thrilling last-second victory over the 76ers, Brown revealed to NBC Sports Boston that Philadelphia fans showed him plenty of disrespect prior to the game.

“I started talking to one of the fans because it got a little bit excessive,” Brown recalled. “It got a little disrespectful. Even before the game, we were entering the arena and there were people saying, ‘I hope you tear your ACL.' I understand people care and love the team that they cheer for, but I think it gets a little excessive at times.”

Although Brown didn't love what Philly fans had to say to him, that didn't impact his play at all during the win. The two-time All-Star put up 26 points and capped off his night by bulldozing Sixers center Joel Embiid for a clutch fourth-quarter bucket:

JB wasn't the only Celtic involved with the fans in Philadelphia either, as point guard Marcus Smart had a lively conversation with someone in one of the front rows:

Former Sixer and current Celtics big Al Horford faced boos from the Philly crowd as well, yet he used the anger to his advantage:

The 36-year-old helped revive the C's in the third quarter, as they were down 15 points before he hit three triples in a row. He finished with 15 points — stemming all from five 3-pointers — and his sister even took to Twitter to revel in the win:

With Saturday night's win, Boston maintains the first seed in the Eastern Conference. If Boston lost, Milwaukee would've moved into the top spot, but for now, the Bucks remain a game back.

Lastly, this wild game won't be the last Sixers-Celtics showdown of the season. Boston squares off against Philly again on April 4 at the Wells Fargo Center.
