A Brooklyn Nets fan was upset with the team on Saturday night and took it out on a jersey.
The Nets fan appeared to have bet on the team in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Upset with the result, the fan burned his Joe Harris jersey.

Harris shot 3-of-10 in the game for 10 points. That was actually an improvement on his play the previous four games.
Harris averaged 14.1 points per game in the regular season. But in Games 3-6 of the series, he scored just single-digit points. The worst was a 1-for-11 showing in Game 3 where he scored just three points.
Harris recognized after the series that he hurt his team.
A candid Joe Harris, who struggled shooting this series, says: "Frankly, if I'd played better, we probably would've been in a different spot."
Harris adds: "But like we were just talking about in the locker room, this thing is far from over for us."

Even without Harris playing well, the Nets still nearly won the series. They were a few shoe sizes away from victory.
