Since the home team didn’t give them a whole lot to cheer about and the guy who could prove to be the one that got away roasted them for a career best, it seemed inevitable Monday afternoon.
More than a few in the sellout Madison Square Garden crowd voiced their displeasure with things several times. Whether it was someone blurting out an expletive at New York City mayor Eric Adams while he gave a pregame speech in honor of the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day or the boos that fell from the rafters because the Charlotte Hornets were pummeling Knicks for the better part of two-plus hours, some weren’t in the mood to remain silent all afternoon.
