The key to beating the Atlanta Hawks in Game 3 for the New York Knicks is simple, as they have struggled to get going as of late.
At times, the knicks seem to lack communication and their players aren’t in the right mindset. During the regular season, the Knicks were having fun, enjoying the process and everything that accompanied success. However, the playoffs represent an entirely different beast, testing the bounds of their mental proficiency and physical aggression.
Unfortunately, the inexperience for some players in the postseason has hurt New York up to this point, as both RJ Barrett and Julius Randle are trying to find their comfort zone and footing at the next level.
