The Hawks pulled away from the Knicks 110-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
