New York Knicks<\/a> head coach Mike Brown was talking about center Mitchell Robinson\u2019s free-throw shooting issues when another one arose: a reporter\u2019s phone went off.<\/p>\n

Brown, 56, playfully picked up the phone and spoke into it, while giving a lecture on reporters need to keep their phones muted.<\/p>\n

“Whosever phone this is, you need to do a better job of muting when you get a text,” Brown said, into the phone. “Because when you get a text, it interrupts the press conference. And people here don\u2019t like when the press conference gets interrupted. So, I\u2019d appreciate your help next time, whosever phone this is. Thank you. I\u2019m sorry, was there another question?”<\/p>\n

A reporter stepped up and claimed the unmuted phone as his.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sorry, coach. I\u2019m guilty,” the reporter said.<\/p>\n

“Okay, no problem,” Brown said while laughing. “You\u2019re a stand-up guy. I like it.”<\/p>\n

NEW YORK RADIO HOST BOYCOTTING ATLANTA RAP MUSIC AS KNICKS FACE HAWKS IN NBA PLAYOFFS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s Knicks squad took a 1-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> on Saturday night, winning 113-102. Jalen Brunson (28 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (25 points) led the way in the series-opening victory.<\/p>\n

Brown is in his first season as the Knicks head coach, as the team fired Tom Thibodeau after losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.<\/p>\n

There is a heightened-pressure on Brown and the Knicks to at least reach the NBA<\/a> Finals, as team owner James Dolan said as much in a rare radio interview with WFAN in January.<\/p>\n

“I’d say we want to get to the Finals and we should win the Finals,” Dolan said during the interview. “This is sports; anything can happen. Getting to the Finals, we absolutely have to do. Winning the Finals, we should do.”<\/p>\n

The Knicks got off on the right foot with their win on Saturday night, a win Dolan hopes is the first of 16 games the team will win en route to a title. The Knicks play the Hawks in Game 2 on Monday at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
