The Madison Square Garden faithful decided to have a bit of fun at the expense of Sacramento Kings forward Matt Barnes on Sunday night.
As Barnes inbounded the ball with 15.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter and a victory for the Knicks virtually in the bag, chants of “Derek Fisher” began to ring throughout the arena.

Barnes has had a hard time letting go of his infamous October 2015 incident with Fisher, but he got a taste of his own medicine this time around. And kudos to the Knicks fans for some next-level trolling in invoking the name of their fired ex-head coach for the sake of clowning the opposition.
For Barnes, who finished with just 2 points on a dismal 1-for-11 shooting from the field in the defeat for Sacramento, the Fisher chants capped off an evening that he would probably rather forget.
