Kevin Garnett and the Celtics got the best of the Bulls on Friday night and after the game Joakim Noah attempted to downplay their rivalry.

"It doesn't matter. Who cares?" Noah said. "At the end of the day, they won the game. We got our asses kicked and they won the game so that's what's frustrating. I don't care about the other stuff. At the end of the day, it's talk. It's all talk. Nothing's going to happen. What's frustrating is they won the game and we didn't."

Noah called Garnett "mean" and "ugly" last month during a radio appearance.

"I'm going to tell you something about people, man," Garnett said after the game.

"Everybody has an opinion, and obviously, he had one. I'm not entertaining nor addressing nobodies. I'm not even entertaining them. I'm focused on basketball and these wins and trying to make this team better. Other than that, I'm not on anything."
