The Atlanta Hawks knocked the New York Knicks out of the NBA Cup in a 108–100 quarterfinal victory on Wednesday, and the Hawks' Trae Young celebrated his impending trip to Vegas with a fitting celebration: he mimed a Sin City-style dice roll, right on top of the Knicks logo.

It was a move designed to agitate, which makes sense for Young, who himself has admitted he has a "love-hate relationship" with New York fans at Madison Square Garden. But one person who wasn't bothered, or at the very least had a measured reaction to the taunt, was Knicks guard Jalen Brunson.

"We should win the game if we don't want him to do that," Brunson said of the celebration, per Knicks reporter Ian Begley.

Dude's got a point. Though New York was up at halftime, Atlanta made up for the margin in the second half, outscoring the Knicks 61–46 over the final two frames. Overall, it was a huge upset over the Knicks, who were initially favored -350.

Now, Atlanta gets to advance to the semifinals, where they'll take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Dec. 14.
