Mayor de Blasio Calls Out Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young: ‘Stop Hunting For Fouls’

(CBSNewYork)- Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young stole the thunder of the Knicks first home playoff game since 2013 on Sunday when he hit a floater with 0.9 seconds to give Atlanta a 107-105 win. The third-year guard had 32 points and 10 assists and enjoyed playing the part of villain shushing the crowd at Madison Square Garden after the shot. Young’s performance got the attention of all Knicks fans, including New York City mayor Bill de Blasio who called out the point guard during his Tuesday press conference for “hunting fouls.”

Mayor de Blasio outlines a new program that allows New Yorkers an opportunity to win Knicks tickets by getting vaccinated at MSG.
