— -- Spurs guard Patty Mills was subjected to racially insensitive taunts Sunday during San Antonio's road game in Cleveland.

Mills took to Twitter late Sunday night to respond to a fan who posted a video clip of the incident, saying that he hoped to "enlighten this confused, hateful fan."

The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of San Antonio's 110-94 victory Sunday afternoon over the? Cleveland Cavaliers.

Mills was at the free-throw line with 2:29 remaining in the contest when the fan could be heard yelling, "Hey Jamaican dog, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"

Mills, a native of Australia who is black, was not asked about the taunts after the game. His father is a Torres Strait Islander and his mother is an Aboriginal Australian.
