Donte DiVincenzo responds to courtside fan tip
In a recent game at the United Center, a Chicago Bulls fan got into it with Donte DiVincenzo, the guard for the New York Knicks. The fan told DiVincenzo to tuck in his jersey, and DiVincenzo’s response was a blunt “Shut up.” Despite this incident, the Knicks lost to the Bulls during their away game. However, since the Orlando Magic also lost to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks, and the Magic stayed tied in the NBA Eastern Conference, both teams are still running for a playoff spot.
The game itself had some intense moments. The Bulls were clearly in control in the first half, leading 61-45 at halftime. The Knicks made a comeback in the second half, narrowing the lead to just five points, but the Bulls ultimately secured the win with a final score of 108-100.

Uninspiring DiVincenzo, Knicks sink to Bulls
Most recently, the Knicks lost severely to the Chicago and New York Bulls in the NBA because Donte DiVincenzo didn’t play up to par.

The Knicks are tied with the Orlando Magic for the final spot in the Eastern Conference, and they are still vying for a postseason berth despite the heartbreaking defeat.

However, Julius Randle’s choice to undergo shoulder surgery that would end the season casts doubt on the Knicks’ chances of making the playoffs.
