The Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks renewed a burgeoning rivalry in State Farm Arena Saturday night, but there was little drama this go around with Atlanta falling to New York 99-90. The Hawks arrived riding a 7-game winning streak, including a laugher of a victory at Memphis the previous night, but it appeared as though the tiredness from that contest less than 24 hours prior to the Saturday night meeting doomed the Hawks from the start.
Their offensive woes were very evident, having shot 33-of-93 (35.5%) from the field and 9-of-37 (24.3%) from three for an unsightly 44.
