New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks — 106:107, NBA

The Atlanta Hawks edged the New York Knicks 107-106 in a one-point NBA finish, surviving a late Knicks push to secure the win. Atlanta’s offense was efficient throughout, shooting 31-of-51 (61.0%) from the field, while New York leaned heavily on perimeter volume (11 made threes on 34 attempts) to keep pace. C.J. McCollum led all scorers with 32 points for Atlanta, repeatedly creating offense in half-court situations and providing the steady scoring the Hawks needed in a tight game. The Hawks also got balanced secondary production from Jonathan Kuminga (19 points) and Jalen Johnson (17 points), helping Atlanta match New York’s playmaking as both teams finished with 22 assists. For New York, Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks with 29 points and helped engineer the late-game rally, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points. The Knicks controlled the glass (47 rebounds to Atlanta’s 36), generating extra opportunities, but Atlanta’s superior field-goal efficiency ultimately offset New York’s rebounding edge. Going forward, the Hawks can point to elite shot-making efficiency and timely scoring as the foundation of this win, especially in a game decided by a single possession. For the Knicks, the narrow loss underscored how strong rebounding and star-level scoring can keep them in games, but also how costly it can be to allow an opponent to shoot above 60% from the floor in a one-point outcome.
