Clint Capela’s mid-week comments about the Knicks’ physicality are sure to light a fire under the Madison Square Garden crowd. Whether it motivates the Knicks to win Game 5 remains to be seen.
However, there is one thing that should give Knicks fans hope when there appears to be none. This is a team from Atlanta.
