Knicks coach Mike Brown turns reporter's ringing phone into a funny moment during press conference

Brown, 56, playfully picked up the phone and spoke into it, while giving a lecture on reporters' need to keep their phones muted.

"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't like when the press conference gets interrupted. So, I'd appreciate your help next time, whosever phone this is. Thank you. I'm sorry, was there another question?"

A reporter stepped up and claimed the unmuted phone as his.

"I'm sorry, coach. I'm guilty," the reporter said.

"Okay, no problem," Brown said while laughing. "You're a stand-up guy. I like it."

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.

"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."

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.
