“Knicks-Hawks, a rivalry renewed, just without the central character that made it great in the first place. Sometimes killing or writing off the main character elevates a story and this game/series is one of those examples. The 1st quarter was wicked. Brunson with a near-perfect 19-point quarter, CJ nearly matching him blow-for-blow and back-and-forth basketball that had MSG in a frenzy. Atlanta proved they belonged with a great 2nd quarter that ended with a 3 to cut their deficit to 2. Brunson led the charge initially for New York, but it was KAT who led them to victory down the stretch. Despite what the final score tells you, Atlanta never truly went away until the final 5 minutes. Even then they were still somewhat threatening. It was KAT who put them in their place and made the plays that sealed up the victory. It certainly helped that there was plenty of animosity to go around, even though these teams are very different compared to the ones back in 2021. This should be a fun series”
