The Atlanta Hawks were back at home in their second game of a back-to-back. The New York Knicks were in town, after just making a trade with the Hawks that sent Cam Reddish and Solomon Hill to the Knicks for Kevin Knox. Despite a big effort in the fourth, the Hawks were not able to overcome the Knicks, losing 117-108. The loss marked their tenth straight at home, and fifth straight overall.
John Collins was aggressive to start the game with five points.
He found Trae Young, who had 12 points in the first half, for this over-the-head assist.
