"I'm not gonna comment on what they're commenting on," he told reporters Saturday. "They're gonna hit, then we hit back, then they cry. ... Let's just hoop, just go out there and play hard. Nobody's gonna fight, this ain't the WWE."

The Knicks felt a little bit differently about the situation.

"It was dirty," DiVincenzo told reporters regarding the situation between Embiid and Robinson. "It was dirty."

It's all setting the stage for a contentious, and crucial, Game 4 on Sunday. The Knicks currently lead the series, 2-1.
