The New York Knicks lost 108-105 to the Hawks in a crucial game against Atlanta, but found a way to score in the final minutes of the game to gain momentum and confidence. The Knicks ran the same play five times over six possessions, with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns contributing significantly to the scoreline. The pair combined for 51 points and 19 assists, helping the team go from a five-point deficit to a two-man game that turned the game around. Towns praised the play calling, which allowed Brunson to score one-on-one and get a step on the defender, and also allowed Towns to play one-and-one with defenders. The win highlighted the potential for the Knicks, particularly in light of their recent down years, and highlighted the need for a strong offensive partnership.
