Series Preview: Knicks (4) vs Hawks (5)

Hopefully New York has saved the giant steps for the playoffs. The Knicks exceeded expectations all year but still have massive room for growth on all sides. That’ll start with the crowds at Madison Square taking an exaggerated lope from 2,000 fans late in the season to a sold out and fanatical 15,000 for the playoffs! That leaves it about 6,000 under pre-pandy capacity.

The Knicks say they've sold out their first two playoff games against Atlanta at 15,000 capacity.

Stand back and bear witness to a jolt for the bloodstream; hopefully not an electrocution level event.
