'They’re trying to be tough guys': Knicks Donte DiVincenzo after physical game with Pacers
The Indiana Pacers were getting throttled by the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, but they weren't backing down.
Donte DiVincenzo fouled Myles Turner in the second half, and they have a lot to say to each other. Both received a technical foul.
“They’re trying to be tough guys. And that’s not their identity," DiVincenzo said to media after the game. "Nobody is going to fight in the NBA. Take the foul and keep it moving. You’re not a tough guy.”
