After Action Report

The Knicks rolled past the Hawks 134-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
