The New York Knicks secured a hard-fought 108-105 victory against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night, snapping the Hawks' impressive 13-game home winning streak. The game concluded with a dramatic review of a potential half-court buzzer-beater by the Hawks' CJ McCollum, which was ultimately ruled unsuccessful as time had expired.
Jalen Brunson was instrumental for the Knicks, scoring 30 points and dishing out 13 assists, including crucial free throws in the final seconds. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 36 points. The Knicks' fourth-quarter surge, spearheaded by Brunson's 17 points in the period, proved decisive.
Atlanta's defeat was their first at home since early February. The Hawks also saw Jalen Johnson achieve his 48th double-double of the season. The team is preparing to face the Cavaliers next. Jock Landale was unavailable due to an ankle sprain.
