Hawks narrowly miss a shutout against the Knicks

Josh Hart injured, he is a French rookie Mohammed Diawara (5 points on 2/7 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in 16 minutes) who is in the top five Nix for this trip to Hawks.

But teammates from Zachary Risacher they are still like crumbly in defense and leave Jalen Brunson etc Karl-Anthony Towns dominate in the first half. Fortunately for Atlanta, Onyeka Okongwu and Asa Newell provide skill from the outside, so the locals stayed within reach (55-68) at the break.

Discreetly until then, Jalen Johnson wakes up and it changes a lot of things for the Hawks, who are on the rise.

The entire game is now in the power forward’s hands and the Knicks are feeling his impact, especially since Nikhil Alexander-Walker is sharp. On the Knicks side, we give all the balls to Jalen Branson, who allows New York to stay in the lead… until another 3-pointer by Onyeka Okongwu with two minutes left (121-119)!

Jaylen Brunson answers immediately, but Nikhil Alexander-Walker then steals the ball and goes on the counterattack (125-124). State Farm Arena believes in holding back, but OG Anunoby would seal the game’s fate with a decisive offensive rebound followed by an interception by Tree Young. With four free throws as a bonus.

New York is doing well (128-125) and that’s why they sink the Hawks, defeated for the sixth time in a row…

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– The Knicks are taking turns. Karl-Anthony Towns had his best offensive game of the season with 36 points on 8/15 shooting and 17/18 free throws, but we hardly saw him in the time. Jalen Brunson (34 points on 15/29 shooting) was the one who had all the balls, and welcome help from OG Anunoby.

– Hard to digest for the Hawks. It’s the sixth straight loss for the Hawks, who had the balls to take this game. Unfortunately, OG Anunoby’s offensive rebounding and interception hurt them a lot, and the poor connection between Trae Young and Jalen Johnson is emblematic of their current issues…

– Discreet French… Holder, Mohamed Diawara (5 points on 2/7 shooting, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in 16 minutes) brought his energy to the Knicks, while opposite Zachary Rizacher (4 points on 2/7 shooting, 4 rebounds) continues to be self-contained in the Hawks’ game. Gershon Yabusele and Pakom Dadiye did not play.
