Despite missing key players Jalen Brunson and Mitchell Robinson, the Knicks surged ahead with a 25-point halftime lead, showcasing their offensive prowess by hitting 15 of 29 three-point attempts. Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 30 points and 11 rebounds, while OG Anunoby contributed 24 points, marking his ninth consecutive game with at least 20 points. The Hawks struggled offensively, with Trae Young limited to just 16 points, as they fell to 36-41 and secured a spot in the upcoming play-in tournament.
