After Hawks center Clint Capela went off on a trash-talking spree after Game 4, the Knicks responded earlier today, including a guarantee of victory by RJ Barrett.

Unfortunately for Knicks fans, Barrett's prediction, and the team's playoff hopes, were left unfulfilled, as the Hawks won Game Five 103-89 for a 4-1 series win.
