Less than 24 hours after leaving the court at State Farm Arena, the Atlanta Hawks visited Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks on Wednesday evening. With the two teams battling for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference, the stakes were high on both sides with sole possession of the No. 4 seed on the line, and Atlanta was also aiming to continue a hot streak with nine wins in the previous 11 games. Late in the third quarter, however, the focus shifted away from a high-profile game and to an injury for Trae Young, and the Hawks fell just short in overtime by a final score of 137-127.
