Tony Bradley, a backup center for the Hawks, believes that the team needs to "hit them in the mouth first" in their first game against the Knicks. This comes after Bradley saw how a last-second heave by Tyrese Haliburton in Game 1 caused a double-digit lead for the Knicks, which carried over into the next game. Bradley, who was waived by the Pacers in January before his contract became guaranteed, remained unsigned until the Hawks picked him up earlier this month due to an injury to backup center Jock Landale. With Landale expected to be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks, it is unclear how significant a role Bradley could play in this series.
