DiVincenzo could be seen chirping at the Knicks bench while standing at the free-throw line during Sunday's game. The broadcast picked up part of the conversation, and DiVincenzo offered further clarity on what was truly said during his postgame interview.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo, playing at Madison Square Garden for the first time since being traded from New York two weeks ago, had to be separated from Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson following the Knicks' 115-110 preseason victory Sunday night.

Still, no matter the fond memories, the Knicks know DiVincenzo is a fiery competitor. So as he scored in the first quarter and went to the foul line, he shouted, “Thanks for the trade, Thibs [Tom Thibodeau],” toward the Knicks bench and then, when someone shouted back, he added, “This is what happens when they let you run the team.”
