Donte DiVincenzo Bluntly Exposes Pacers Star for Being a Fake Tough Guy

As if the action in their second-round series isn't hot enough, the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers added more fuel to their rivalry when Donte DiVincenzo and Myles Turner had a heated confrontation late in the third quarter of Tuesday night's meeting at Madison Square Garden.

It did not stop there, though. After the game, DiVincenzo essentially called Turner and the Pacers a bunch of guys pretending to be tough on the court.

“They’re trying to be tough guys. And that’s not their identity. …Nobody is going to fight in the NBA. Take the foul and keep it moving. You’re not a tough guy,” DiVincenzo said, per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post.

At the end of the day, it was DiVincenzo and the Knicks who got the last laugh in Game 5, as they came away with a 121-91 victory to take a 3-2 series lead. New York can wrap things up in the series on Thursday in Indiana.
