The New York Knicks outlasted the Atlanta Hawks to win, 128-125. The Knicks nearly blew a 16-point lead in the second half, but OG Anunoby made clutch plays to seal the win.
The Knicks controlled the entire first half. Atlanta didn’t have anyone big enough to stop Karl-Anthony Towns or Mitchell Robinson in the paint. New York’s second unit got a boost from Kevin McCullar Jr., who stepped up to fill the void left by Josh Hart’s ankle injury.
The Knicks pushed their lead to 16 points in the third quarter, but their defense began to let up. The Hawks came back and even took the lead in the fourth quarter, but Jalen Brunson struck late, and OG Anunoby made four consecutive free throws to close.
The Knicks came through in the clutch again, and another bench piece stepped up when opportunity came knocking. Let’s look back at another exciting Knicks’ victory.
