After playing five games in the preseason, the Atlanta Hawks 2018-19 regular season is finally upon us.
The Hawks travel to Madison Square Garden, where loyal and vocal Knicks fans will flock in droves to see Kevin Knox, Mitchell Robinson and Frank Ntilikina – as well as perhaps jeer Trae Young if he misses badly on a deep three-pointer.
After months of hand-wringing and prognostication about the future of the Atlanta Hawks franchise, the rubber will meet the road tonight against the Knicks and all of the stats will start to matter.
