Tempers flared at the end of Sunday’s scoring-starved Knicks/76ers clash, as Donte DiVincenzo wrapped up Kelly Oubre’s legs and pulled him down to the ground after the Knicks guard took exception after he was knocked to the floor himself.
After DiVincenzo fell to the ground, he seemed to take exception at Oubre, who was standing behind him, and dragged him to the hardwood. Isaiah Hartenstein and others got involved, resulting in three technical fouls after officials reviewed the incident.
After the game, a 79-73 win for Philly, Oubre laughed off the incident before sending a message to DiVincenzo.
“It’s just frustration,” Oubre said, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. “This is the game of basketball. It’s high energy, and we’re in The Garden. But I don’t have any enemies in this league.
“All of that stuff is funny to me. I just laugh, because nobody finna fight. So at the end of the day, I’ll see you Tuesday bruv.”
The Knicks and Sixers will indeed be back at it on Tuesday night.
