The Atlanta Hawks hosted the New York Knicks on Friday evening in what was a fun, high-scoring affair. The Hawks were able to get the win in this one despite a red-hot first half by the Knicks, coming back in the second half for a comfortable 139-124 victory.
Both teams came out of the gates absolutely blazing offensively, and the scoring continued throughout the first half. The Knicks led 38-35 after the first quarter, and nothing slowed down at all from there.
New York shot 71% from the floor in the first half, and held just a three-point lead over a Hawks team that was also humming offensively.
