The Hawks defeat the Knicks 116-100, with DiVincenzo, Achiuwa, and Johnson leading in points for the Knicks.
In on-court interview, @TabTurnerTV1 made a good point about Jalen Johnson getting a lot of the stay-ahead baskets when things got tight. Good reps to have.
Knicks could deal with their staring PG and SF and PF and C being out. They could deal with their starting SG and 6th man missing 20 three-pointers. Also, there was Zero reason for the Knicks starters to have played the final 2 mins
.@nyknicks with a less than mediocre shooting night
The Brunson-less Knicks lose at home. 😩 https://t.co/uUvOfjGs9a

Miles McBride has played 93 total minutes over his past two games.
Final: Hawks 116, Knicks 100. Knicks fall to 36-26, tied for fourth in the East. • DiVincenzo 21-4-6, 7-24 FGs • Achiuwa 15 & 6 • Bogdanovic (NY) 19 & 3 • Hart 14-8-6 • Johnson 26-9-7
Clint Capela has gotten his hands on a lot of basketballs the past couple of minutes.
Made shots aside, Josh Hart is going up with a lot more confidence on his 3s these days.
Through three quarters, the Hawks lead the Knicks 83-78. • Achiuwa 15 & 5 • Bogdanovic 15 & 5 • DiVincenzo 15-3-4, 5-20 FGs • McBride 11 pts, 7 asts • Johnson 24-6-4
Halftime. Hawks lead the Knicks 61-50. • Bogdanovic 12 & 3 • Achiuwa 10 & 3 • DiVincenzo 10-2-3 • McBride 6 pts, 6 asts • Johnson 17-4-3
Jalen Johnson had a great 1Q on offense (11 points, well-chosen shots/attacks) but it seemed like some of the few points the Knicks got came at the expense of some aggressive choices he made on defense. Hawks lead, 33-18.

The trust is only growing between Miles McBride and Tom Thibodeau. Yet, even as McBride outplays expectations, obstacles pop up. There is opportunity for the Knicks guard, writes @FredKatz. Will he take it? https://t.co/ghaHqGf0Oq https://t.co/50kLjmbmAN
Last night was Donte DiVincenzo's 40th start for the Knicks. DiVincenzo has made a total of 148 three-pointers in those 40 starts. Per @bball_ref, that the most made 3PT's in any 40-game game span by any player in Knicks franchise history.

Miles McBride on playing 47 minutes, 13 seconds tonight: "That was a lot of trust coach put in me and I just wanted to give it my all."
Before the game JB Bickerstaff said that Hart's hustle energizes the Knicks - "We’re going to try our best to eliminate those type of plays because we’re not going to allow him to outwork us." He finished with 19 rebounds, 13 points and 10 assists in 46 minutes.
