Will the Knicks make a valiant last stand against the Atlanta Hawks in front of their home crowd Wednesday night and force a Game 6? Or will they fall behind by 20 points in the second quarter and watch Trae Young hit shot-after-shot while Clint Capela smugly smiles as he sends the Knicks on vacation?
The truth is, it doesn’t really matter.
The Knicks' season has been a massive success no matter what happens in Game 5.
