Another duel between New York Knicks It is Detroit Pistons happened, but this time it ended with a controversy involving the coach of the Michigan franchise and a New York player. The victory of the favorites, who played in the Madison Square Gardenhad a special factor, since Donte DiVincenzo broke the record for most triple balls converted in a home team game. However, the visiting head coach Monty Williams I had something to say about what happened.
“Cool for him. But to be honest, I don’t care about that. In reality, I couldn’t care less. I don’t care about this team. Because it seemed a little strange to me. The way these guys were giving him shots, you know? He kicked several times in a match already decided. So, how cool for him. But I wouldn’t want to be part of history like that.”fired Williams.

In fact, DiVincenzo’s shot volume was very high, hitting only 11 of 20 attempted balls. In the first three quarters, the winger made nine of 13, when the Knicks were already winning by 29 points. The player spent a few more minutes on the court in the last quarter and tried another seven shots, making two. And that bothered the Pistons coach. But the barbs weren’t just due to Monty Williams. Josh Harta player on the New York team, came to the defense of his teammate.
“It is funny. I don’t know what I can say about this, but I think he more than anyone was very sorry about how hot Donte was. And in the end, that’s what the NBA is about, you have a hot guy on the court and you’re going to look for that guy whenever you can. That’s common sense in basketball. Ultimately, if he didn’t want to be part of history, he should have told his players to defend a little better”detonated Hart.
