In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Knicks 133-102. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
