Knicks fans love to have someone to hate, and the New York faithful at Madison Square Garden have found a new antagonist.
Veteran CJ McCollum went off for 32 points in the Atlanta Hawks 107-106 Game 2 win on the road, showing off his closing ability. The trade deadline acquisition scored six points in the final 2:08 and made two go-ahead buckets in that stretch while also getting into a shouting match with the fiery Jose Alvarado in the third quarter.
After the game, McCollum did his best to avoid becoming the latest to take on the “villain” role at MSG.
“I ain’t no villain. I’m a nice guy with two kids and a wife,” McCollum said when asked drawing the ire of Knicks fans.
“I think it’s admiration. Great passionate fans in a really hostile environment. If anything, I think it’s a sign of respect.”
The Hawks needed every one of McCollum’s points and team-high six assists to rally from a 14-point deficit and tie the series.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. McCollum made three three-pointers in a playoff game for the 26th time in his career. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with at least 25 such games in the postseason?
Good luck!
