Some of the biggest shots in playoff history come from offensive rebounds/broken plays. Ray Allen probably has the greatest one. Reggie’s done it a few times to the Knicks. Tonight, Donte DiVincenzo made the most of his chance. – 10:33 PM

Donte DiVincenzo is being interviewed on the court and it is so loud it was impossible to hear anything.
Eventually, DiVincenzo said, “Listen to this. This is what we do. This is who we do it for.” – 10:13 PM

The Knicks turn the 76ers over on an inbounds pass and Donte DiVincenzo ends up draining a 3 to put the Knicks up, 102-101, with 13.1 seconds left in regulation.
Someone just threw a beer high into the air in celebration.
What a sequence. – 10:09 PM

After 3: Knicks 79, 76ers 74
Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo are a combined 7-for-11 from 3.
The rest of the team? 0-for-10.
Philly has 49 points from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and has done a tremendous job on the offensive glass so far, outrebounding the Knicks there. – 9:27 PM

Knicks win the challenge. Joel Embiid wins the jump ball, but Donte DiVincenzo intercepts the pass and gets a free lane to the rim. Lowry fouls him from behind, and DDV makes both free throws. Successful challenge by the Knicks. – 9:10 PM

Definitive response this
morning from Donte DiVincenzo on “bullshit” player poll:
“You don’t know (Thibodeau). You don’t know how the organization runs. You don’t know how the practices run. You don’t know anything,”

ClutchPoints: “I mean listen to this… This is what we do. This who we do it for. That’s it. 2-0.” Donte DiVincenzo on the atmosphere at MSG following the Knicks’ thrilling Game 2 win over the Sixers 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/dJKUhffqjv -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / April 22, 2024
But Brunson and DiVincenzo usually ended up bonding over one specific thing more than any other that year, a topic that brought them together and forged the foundation of a lifelong friendship: Josh Hart was an incredibly annoying person. -via ESPN / April 22, 2024
During those moments, DiVincenzo credits Brunson for being the bridge from the team to him and one of the main reasons he was able to play a pivotal role in Nova’s postseason without playing a single minute. The fabric of that relationship? Despising Josh Hart. “Josh will tell you, I hated him,” DiVincenzo says. “A bunch of guys did. Jalen and I were best friends, and Jalen had to say, ‘Come on, he’s fine.’ But yes, that was our common bond.” -via ESPN / April 22, 2024
