The Knicks fans seemed to have loved watching their team go on a 9-0 run in the final five minutes of the game. Not only did they enjoy the run, but they also enjoyed mouthing Trae Young off after the same. Trae Young and the Knicks fans have gotten in a rivalry of sorts after his comments post Game 1. Even the New York mayor had something to say about the same.
Draymond Green is impressed by Trae Young
Handling a whole crowd shout ‘F**k you’ at you, while the game is on the line is something not every player can handle. Take it from Draymond Green. He is one of the most hated players by the fans around the league. However, he never let the fans get under his skin.
Green is mighty impressed by how Young has been handling the same at his young age. Draymond is glad the rest of the league now gets to see what he knew for quite some time.
The Hawks now move back to Atlanta, for the next two games of the series. They would like to capitalize on their home advantage and gain an edge over the Knicks.
