Trae Young Lifts Hawks Over Knicks in Classic Battle

Atlanta Claims Wild Game 1 in New York

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young put on a spectacular performance in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series against the New York Knicks, scoring 32 points and dishing out 10 assists. Young's clutch go-ahead floater with just 0.9 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winner as Atlanta narrowly claimed the victory.

Knicks Take 2-0 Series Lead

Despite Young's heroics, the Knicks responded strongly in Game 2, taking a commanding 2-0 series lead. Jalen Brunson showcased his offensive prowess, dropping 22 points in the Knicks' dramatic victory.

Reggie Miller's Historic Performance

The Knicks' performance in Game 2 echoed the legendary 8-point outburst by Reggie Miller in 1995 against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden. Miller's performance has since become synonymous with clutch shooting in playoff basketball.

Brunson's Cooking Analogy

After witnessing Joel Embiid's 50-point outing in Game 3 against the Knicks, Brunson expressed his determination to match Embiid's scoring prowess. Brunson's "cooking" analogy has become a rallying cry for the Knicks as they aim to extend their series lead.
