Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks 7:30 pm [Game #60]

Half-Time .. Knicks 67 - Hawks 69

Knicks are still playing win-win B.ball .. Bullocks got 13 pts on 4-6 shooting from 3's, D.Rose grab 14 pts in 13 min, and Randle scored 20 pts in the first half.
RJ Barrett is having another sorry first half shooting 1-9, plus RJ letting Hawks Huerter score 12 of his 16 pts right in RJ face. RJ have to turn it up in the 2nd half like he did last night for me to stop calling him out.
Payton playing well, need to pickup his defense on Trae in the 2nd half

That's twice Noel gave the ball to Randle instead of Payton to bring the ball up court .. 2 turnovers !!!

RJ Barrett 2 consecutive baskets are on track to his performance last night in the 2nd half .. GO RJ get yours !!!

So, both Taj and Noel get knocked out of the game after getting hit in the face and now we turn to Pelle.

Capela is killing us. Surprise, surprise. No MRob, no Taj, no Noel. I mean, c?mon. What are we supposed to do?

Trae Young writhing on the ground with an ankle injury.

Trae went down with looks to be a sprained ankle, he's not coming back, more than makes up for the mugging Taj and Noel got.

Noel ready to return.

Noel back.

Trae maybe out for the game .. but Thibs shoulda put Frank on young & Lou tonight. They are destroying Rose and Payton, we need a change of pace.
I'm really missing MitchRob .. having Gibson & Noel go down hurt tonight dont look good

Back to back 3s by Quick cuts the Hawks lead to 2. Plenty of time, got to beat a Hawk team playing without Trae.

BS call on Rose. Capella steps on Rose foot and he gets called for the foul, it's Roses 5th foul.

Hot damn! Guy step on my foot and I get the foul WTF !!!

Knicks shooting fouls the rest of the way. JR hits 2 freebies for a 113-109 lead.

Rose hits a 3, Knicks 16-30 from downtown.

Collins ties it with a 3.

That lose ball foul is brutal. Rose fouled out and Atlanta gets to try to tie the game at the line.

Randle coming up huge late in the 4th. Hawks are only down 3 and 8 seconds left. Lot of time left. Knicks need to foul and prevent the 3 attempt. Can?t screw this up.

Can?t let that happen. Can?t let them have that shot. Blew that defensive sequence badly.
