The Knicks are back in New York City for Game 5 against Atlanta after tying the series up with a Game 4 victory.
The Knicks took control early, jumping out to a massive 68-44 lead by halftime and never looking back. Karl-Anthony Towns recorded 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming only the fourth Knick ever to post a triple-double in a playoff game. The Knicks won the game, 114-98.
Atlanta, which had won the previous two games by a single point each, struggled to find any rhythm against New York’s physical defense, and despite a 17-point effort by CJ McCollum and 15 points off the bench from Nickeil Alexander-Walker, the 24-point fourth quarter deficit was too much to overcome.
The Knicks and Hawks head back to Atlanta for a potential series-deciding Game 6 on Thursday, April 30.
Knicks vs. Hawks Game 5 is scheduled to begin tonight, April 28, at 8 p.m. ET.
