5 Things To Know:

1. The Knicks may have recorded their best victory of the season in a 104-94 win over the second-best team in the Eastern conference. Atlanta entered the game as the No. 1 team in the league in defensive rating but New York managed to outscore the Hawks in every quarter while reaching the century mark on 47.7 shooting from the floor. Despite missing Joakim Noah (sickness), New York’s starting five carried the offensive load with a combined 86 points.
