The Atlanta Hawks found themselves on the wrong side of a pummeling, falling to the New York Knicks 121-106 at State Farm Arena on Saturday afternoon. Trae Young led the Hawks in scoring with 16 points, and Terance Mann and Caris LeVert both added 14 points to the Atlanta cause. For the Knicks — without Jalen Brunson — Karl-Anthony Towns led with 30 points and 11 rebounds while OG Anunoby added 24 points.
Heading into this contest — the first night of a back-to-back for the Hawks — both teams are essentially locked into their regular season fate.
