The Atlanta Hawks returned to winning ways after securing a wire-to-wire victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, 116-100.
Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, with De’Andre Hunter adding 22 points off the bench. For the Knicks, Donte DiVincenzo scored 21 points, and Bojan Bogdanovic added 19 points.
The contrasting win/loss records for these teams this season would have suggested that the Knicks should roll through pretty comfortably, and perhaps under normal circumstances this may have been the case.
