Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks was many things. It was a frustrating game to watch, as the New York Knicks struggled offensively, missing open shot after open shot. They were frequently stymied by the length of the Hawks’ defense, particularly Jalen Brunson, who faced challenges against DPOY candidate Dyson Daniels. The team was also dominated on the boards, including a sequence where a very small Knicks lineup was outmuscled repeatedly—a predictable outcome when four-fifths of the opposing lineup towers over your center. Whoops.
