The Atlanta Hawks managed to escape Madison Square Garden with an unlikely victory over the New York Knicks on Super Bowl Sunday: 99-96.
Kent Bazemore — who was all-around great in this game — led the Hawks with 19 points, including the go-ahead basket with 6.7 seconds remaining. Mike Muscala added a season-high 15 points off of the bench, including three three-pointers.
Lineup change
Before we get into the nitty-gritty (and, boy, is there nitty-gritty with this one...), the Hawks were forced into a lineup change: Ersan Ilyasova was not with the team due to an illness so Dewayne Dedmon started in his place.
