When the clock dwindled to zero, Trae Young showcased a celebration which made Knicks fans unhappy. He mimicked a dice roll on the logo of New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. He was looking to tease home fans with a remark that Atlanta would take the flight to Vegas.
Trae Young is averaging 26.3 PPG on Madison Square Garden. It is the most by a point guard when playing at the New York Knicks’ home turf in the 3PT era. He expressed that he had planned on doing the celebration days before the matchup.
The 26-year-old also said he has a love-hate relationship with New York fans. The MSD crowd didn’t give a good welcome to the Hawks star when he arrived at the court to face the Knicks. Fans have offered him boos and chants before the game.
