| 0:52.2 | Just a couple of days ago, the NICs were looking at a 2-1 series deficit. And they had a lot of questions to answer. And so far, they've had those answers. Inconvincing fashion. Craig Win, dominated and loved it running through towns. Jalen last night for us was really good. O.G. is a beast. There was a sense of urgency, a sense of physicality.

| 2:11.3 | stranglehold on the series, but they're up to one, and they have home court in game four. And from that moment to where we are right now, the Knicks have absolutely polarized the Hawks. |
