Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela not impressed by New York Knicks' physical play

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela didn't mince words on Tuesday when asked about the physical nature of his team's first-round matchup against the New York Knicks.

Things got chippy in Game 4 in Atlanta with John Collins needing four stitches in his lip because of an errant elbow from a Julius Randle layup attempt. Randle later gave a forearm shove in retaliation for a perceived elbow in the back that Danilo Gallinari gave to Reggie Bullock.

Capela said those moves and the Knicks' style of play doesn't make them a physical team.
