Tom Thibodeau’s tirade wakes up Knicks in win: ‘You don’t want to know
NY Post
WASHINGTON — After the Knicks lost the momentum in the third quarter and nearly squandered a big lead, coach Tom Thibodeau called a timeout with a message for his team that was apparently too obscene to repeat.
“I can’t [say it],” Jalen Brunson said. “Basically, his message was, ‘Be better.’ ”
The Knicks obliged and immediately turned a five-point lead into 16 within about five minutes. It pushed the Wizards out of the game for good, and the Knicks left Capital One Arena with Saturday’s 121-105 win, their fourth straight victory.
Thibodeau also didn’t want to divulge his words during the timeout. Clearly, he was angry.
“You don’t want to know,” Thibodeau said.
