In an unexpected turn of events, the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks faced each other in what would be the last game of the 2020 season due to the start of the global pandemic.
Neither team was invited to the NBA bubble restart, and didn’t know when they’d see the court again. The Hawks finished 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-47 record, and the Knicks finished 12th with a 21-45 record.
Fast forward to this season, and both teams will be facing each other again - but this time only one team’s season will be ending.
