Nick's Hawks last night did not go well for the home team.

Runts here with 8 to shoot.

Working on Alexander Walker.

The fend off, the strip by Alexander Walker.

Hawks looking along.

Johnson, Slims at home.

Atlanta has its largest lead with 10.2 remaining.

At that point, 107, 103, Noah Eagle, the call on NBC, 107, 106 was the final as Atlanta

takes game two, evens up the series at a game apiece.

They outscored the Knicks 28, 15 in the fourth quarter, Knicks 5 for 22 in that fourth.

C.J. McCollum led the way with 32, Jonathan Caminga, 19 off the bench. Here was Mike Brown. I know you guys were discussing this. The idea of Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns on the bench at the same time. In the second quarter, Atlanta went on a run when they were there. So Brown was asked afterwards. Did having those two sit simultaneously? Was that an issue? No, I don't think so. We've played that lineup quite a bit since the end of the season,

and that lineup's been pretty good. But as he would continue, he essentially said it just

didn't work out, that's all. We weren't good tonight, you know, and we turned the ball over

a few, too many times during that period, you know, and we turned the ball over a few, too many times during that period,

you know, but we had opportunities where, you know, our starters were in, and we were at the 8 to 10,

and Atlanta closed it, so I wouldn't just say that specific lineup calls it.

Hmm, and then there is Carl Anthony Towns who says, you know, coach is right.

That's not why the game got away from us.

I'll tell you one thing.

We trust any one of our guys in this locker going to be in that game at any time. So, you know, I had to watch the game, but what I do know is that the time we were off the court wasn't when we lost. It was the time, you know, we were on the court at the end and when they found ways to make shots.

So it's on us as starters and me and J.B.

To make it tougher on them.
