On one of the biggest days in sports, the Knicks didn’t play like their season was on the line. Both teams put out a dreadful shooting performance in the first half, but the Hawks were able to do enough to get the win.
The Knicks found it very difficult to score in the first half. Shooting under 40 percent as a team, Courtney Lee and Trey Burke led with a team-high seven points, but turnovers killed the Knicks.
