To paraphrase Dwyane Wade circa 2010, “Sorry if everyone thought we were going to go 0-82″. I guess this Hawks team was tailor made to get a thorough beating under the MSG lights on opening night!
So, with our first win under our belt, let’s take a look at what happened tonight!
The good:
– Tim Hardaway Jr. (31 pts. 6 rebs, 5 ast, +14 +/-) had a heck of an second quarter on offense. He just couldn’t miss (which was not true for the rest of the game, since he ended up shooting 10/22 from the field and 3 for 9 from three) in the historic second stanza, and that propelled the Knicks to a wide margin – and effectively to the victory, since they would never relinquish that lead for the night.
