The Atlanta Hawks came up short in the fourth quarter vs. the New York Knicks on Saturday evening for the second consecutive night after once again fighting back from a double-digit deficit. They got off to a decent start in the game but managed to dig a hole in the final minutes of the first half that sent them into the break down 14 points.
The Hawks’ second unit, who played more effectively throughout the game than the first unit, managed to narrow the lead to four with roughly eight and a half minutes to play. But once the Hawks starters returned things slipped from their control.
