After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Hawks 134-126. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
