The Hawks & Knicks go at it again tonight in MSG after our Hawks fell in Game 1 on Saturday night. We check in with long time NY writer & insider Frank Isola and find out what happened to the Hawks, what the Knicks did to shut down Jalen Johnson, and what the Hawks need to do to take Game 2.
I thought Atlanta kind of let good opportunities slip through their fingers because that’s usually the time to get the Knicks as early in a series, but Atlanta just didn’t shoot the ball well enough.
