What Knicks game? Hawks no show for 121-105 implosion
The Hawks and Knicks linked up for the fifth, yes FIFTH, time this season — a series that includes a big NBA Cup Quarterfinal win in New York to send the Hawks to Las Vegas back in December.
New York was down a number of key contributors, like Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride and Mitchell Robinson, so Atlanta had a chance to continue their push for the seven-seed in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta got off to a hot start with a triple from Trae Young and a nice baby hook shot from Zaccharie Risacher. Then Young followed it up with his second three in the opening minutes:
