The Knicks are in a tough spot, but they’ve spent the entire year exceeding expectations and silencing haters. The Hawks have them on the ropes, but one win is all it takes to shift the tide. Can the Knicks win Game 5 and extend their season?

Based on the rest of the series to date, it feels like Atlanta has a serious edge, especially with their star rising ever higher as New York’s star struggles to stay in the sky. While the Knicks lost both games in Atlanta by double digits, the truth of the matter is that they’ve only been outscored by a total of 21 points for the series, or 5.
