ATLANTA — The Knicks are unbeaten … against the hapless Hawks.
Tim Hardaway Jr. returned to action after a one-game absence (back) to score 34 points against his former team, and slumping starting point guard Frank Ntilikina returned to life with 14 points while shutting off rookie sensation Trae Young as the Knicks topped the Hawks 112-107 at State Farm Arena.
In extending their good play from that season-opening splash over Atlanta, the Knicks moved to 4-8 — half their wins coming against the Hawks.
