Donte DiVincenzo issues statement after Myles Turner dust-up: 'You're not a tough guy'

Donte DiVincenzo didn't mince words when asked about a brush-up with Myles Turner during the New York Knicks' Game 5 win over the Indiana Pacers.

During the third quarter, DiVincenzo and Turner got tangled while Turner set a screen on the Knicks guard. The two exchanged words and had to be separated by referees.

DiVincenzo was whistled for the personal foul while both players received technicals.

After the game, DiVincenzo had a blunt assessment of the altercation.

"They were trying to be tough guys. That's not their identity," DiVincenzo said. "And there was nothing more to that. I don't agree with trying to walk up on somebody that you— nobody's going to fight in the NBA. Take the foul, keep it moving. You're not a tough guy, just keep it moving."

The comments are sure to add some juice to what should be a raucous atmosphere in Indianapolis. The two teams have traded back-to-back blowouts, and now the Pacers are facing elimination.
