Trae Young loves playing the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Young and New York Knicks fans have a little thing going on following last season’s playoff series in which Knicks fans chanted insults and someone even spat at the Atlanta Hawks guard. So of course when Young played in MSG on Tuesday night, he made sure to not only put up big numbers, but get in his licks on Knicks fans.
Look at him handing out an L during the game:
Is there any current player more antagonistic to a fan base than Trey Young v New Yorkers? Got heckled all night but didn’t forget about it. Lonce the game was out of reach came back and told the man to “hold that L” 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/J242dhcqfE

After the game, the point guard repeated what he’s previously said about hecklers at the Garden:
“At the end of the day, fans can only talk. They can’t guard me. They’re not out there playing.”
Young said it’s all about “letting [his] play do the talking.”

Atlanta is in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference, which would put them in the play-in tournament today.
If only Trae and the Hawks played the Knicks every night.
