Overview

  • New York won 114-98 in Atlanta on Saturday to even the first-round series at 2-2.
  • Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first playoff triple-double, serving as an offensive hub and repeatedly finding cutters and shooters.
  • The Knicks held the Hawks to about 41% from the field and roughly 24% from three and capitalized on 12 first-half turnovers to build a big lead, with Josh Hart driving the on-ball pressure.
  • OG Anunoby led New York with 22 points and 10 rebounds and punished closeouts after Towns’ feeds, while his primary assignments struggled to find rhythm.
  • Jalen Brunson briefly exited after an ankle knock and returned before saying he felt fine, and cameras caught a heated moment with assistant Rick Brunson that he later framed as two competitors; Game 5 is Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
