Seems like players have forgotten what it’s like to have a full-throated crowd going nuts at a playoff game… going down to the wire.
Madison Square Garden in New York hosted one of the larger NBA crowds… seen since the league was shut down in March last year.
Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young dashed the hopes of New York fans after he hit the game-winner with 0.9 seconds remaining against the Knicks.
Players on both sides put up a fight, but Young has become the knicks’ biggest villain… silencing the home crowd that were chanting against him
He netted 32 points in a 107-105 win in Game 1 of the first round… a blow to Knicks fans
Who have been in a frenzy throughout the second half of the season… after they made the playoffs for the first time in 8 years.
Young has joined LeBron James as the only players with at least 30 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in his postseason debut.
Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday… back again at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks will try their shot again to win their first playoff game… in just short of a decade (It’s no wonder fans are screaming out of their seats)
