The win secures the seven-seed in the Eastern Conference for Brooklyn, and the Nets will head to Boston on Saturday to play the Celtics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Irving was spectacular, knocking down the first 12 shots he took, finishing the game 12-15 from the field and 3-6 from beyond the three-point line. He did it all without drinking water or eating any food throughout the day, as Irving was fasting for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a journey with God,\u201d Irving said after the game. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not alone in this. I have brothers and sisters all around the world that are fasting with me. We hold our prayers and our meditations very sacred. And when you come out here \u2026 God\u2019s inside me. God\u2019s inside you. God\u2019s inside all of us. I\u2019m walking with faith, and that\u2019s all that matters. And when I get a chance to do this, in this type of arena, and showcase my talents that have been granted to me strictly from God, I\u2019m humbled.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kyrie explains being able to play at a high level while fasting during the month of Ramadan <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wF54hhSeVn\">pic.twitter.com\/wF54hhSeVn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1514055243859824647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last April, Irving first spoke about being part of the Muslim community, telling reporters that he was \u201ccommitted to Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll praise is due to God, Allah, for this \u2026 For me, in terms of my faith and what I believe in, being part of the Muslim community, being committed to Islam, and also just being committed to all races and cultures, religions, just having an understanding and a respect,\u201d Irving <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9JhCZM-VRh0\">said<\/a> in April 2021. \u201cI just want to put that as a foundation. There\u2019s such a divisive energy out here, or it\u2019s been that way in our society, it\u2019s just so divisive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yeah, I am taking part in Ramadan with a lot of my Muslim brothers and sisters,\u201d Irving <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nba-nets-kyrie-irving-ramadan-fast-muslim-while-playing-154503387.html\">continued<\/a>. \u201cAnd it\u2019s been an adjustment. That\u2019s really what I can say. It\u2019s just being committed to my service to God, Allah, and then continuing on with whatever I\u2019m guided with. I\u2019m just happy to be part of my community and doing the right things. So, fasting is definitely part of it \u2014 if you know anything about the Muslim community. But yeah, just really blessed and grateful to be taking part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irving and the Nets have had a tumultuous season, as Irving was unable to play in Brooklyn home games for the majority of the season due to New York City\u2019s private-sector mandate. In late March, NYC Democratic Mayor Eric Adams announced an exemption for professional athletes to the city\u2019s private sector vaccine mandate, allowing Irving to play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>The duo of Irving and two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant are a scary thought for the rest of the Eastern Conference, but the Nets will have to win three consecutive playoff series on the road in order to reach the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
