Young has long been the Knicks’ most prominent public opponent and is unlikely to lose his position as the team’s top player soon following his stunt at the logo. He concluded this game with 22 points, five rebounds, 11 assists, and one steal.
Instead of the Knicks, the 26-year-old wanted to let them know that he and his squad are now heading to Las Vegas for the semifinals. Young and the Knicks’ supporters have a long-standing feud.
You did something similar on the home court earlier this season. Take “Yall a**es home,” Young ordered the Knicks supporters. However, the Hawks’ journey came to an end in the NBA Cup as they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in the semifinals in Las Vegas.

On the Western side of the NBA Cup knockout stage, Hartenstein and the Thunder are the main attractions. Oklahoma City (19-5) sealed its Vegas spot by going 3-1 in group play before defeating Dallas in quarterfinal action.
They are currently leading the Western standings overall. In addition, they recently defeated the Houston Rockets and will play the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup Finals.
