The Atlanta Hawks already topped Group C of the 2024 edition of the Emirates NBA Cup by virtue of going 3-1 in the group and winning the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Boston Celtics.
Now, with the conclusion of the games on Tuesday, we know the Hawks’ opponent in the quarterfinals of the single elimination portion of the tournament.
The New York Knicks knocked off the Orlando Magic and won Group A, but since the Milwaukee Bucks handily beat the Detroit Pistons earlier in the evening, they captured Group B and the top seed as a 4-0 team with the best point differential.
