The Knicks and Golden State Warriors tip off for the second time this season on Saturday might — which means Draymond Green will once again find himself in familiar territory. In the hot seat.

Towns played with a fire rarely seen, Josh Hart and Tom Thibodeau got in a heated exchange in a fourth-quarter huddle and still the Knicks found themselves tied with Golden State in the final minutes.

Anthony Towns produced a game-high 29 points with a game-high 12 rebounds before fouling out with 6.1 seconds remaining. But the center, along with his Knicks teammates, faltered down the stretch and allowed Green the final taunt Saturday night in the Warriors’ 97-94 victory.
