Even though the Knicks are clearly the more talented team, their season-long inconsistency has made this series tighter than expected.
Players like Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson have emphasized the need for discipline and focus to close out the series, especially in a tough road environment in Atlanta.
Towns has demonstrated efficient scoring, strong rebounding and playmaking that has consistently put pressure on the Hawks’ defense.
The best shot the Hawks have at pushing this series back to MSG is if CJ McCollum can find a shooting rhythm on Thursday night.
