The rubber match is here.
The Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks will face off on Wednesday night in what appears to be a typical January NBA game, but the league’s schedule makers have made it anything but typical. The Hawks and Knicks will occupy the same court for the third time in 12 days, and with the oddity of a four-day break during that run for Atlanta, the third match-up with New York will be intertwined with only two other NBA opponents.
In the first two match-ups, the Hawks prevailed 117-98 at home on Dec.
