Atlanta Hawks rolled over weak attacking New York Knicks in the second half

The Atlanta Hawks have also won their second home game against the New York Knicks and extended their series lead to 3-1. At 113: 96, Trae Young led his team again, after the break the Knicks no longer had an answer to the home side’s improved offense and in the end lost their nerve.

Atlanta Hawks (5) – New York Knicks (4) 113:96 (BOXSCORE), Serie: 3-1

The offensive was not nice to watch at the beginning, the Hawks led at break with +4, although they only hit a good 40 percent from the field. Since Atlanta improved significantly and kept fighting on the line, the third quarter went to the home side with 35:22. After a good start in the final section, the decision was made, the Hawks also won their 13th home game in a row.

Randle, who had only converted 2 of his 15 throws for 14 points in game 3, made a better, but by no means convincing, appearance. In the end he had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, but only hit 7/19 and made 5 turnovers. Derrick Rose reduced after a strong first half (18, 7/15 FG, 6 assists). RJ Barrett contributed 19 points, and Obi Toppin (13) and Alec Burks (12) also scored double digits.

While the three-point at the Hawks got better and better in the course of the game (15/39, 38.5 percent), that couldn’t be said about the Knickerbockers (31 percent, 9/29). In addition, Atlanta scored points every time the guests lost the ball (22: 6). Top scorer Young scored 27 points (9/21 FG, 4/14 3FG), and John Collins (22 and 8), Danilo Gallinari (21) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (12, 8 rebounds, +29!) Were also convincing. Clint Capela came from a befitting double-double (10 and 15).

Young opened the game with a successful floater, Randle continued his previously miserable series from the field with two missed throws. The tension was evident on both sides. Rose brought the Knicks into the front for the first time with a three from the corner. Almost everything went through Young and Randle, the former met in the fourth attempt for the first time from a distance and repeatedly staged Capela brilliantly. Rose was the first player in Double Digits, but then said goodbye to the dressing room at short notice. A Hill three-point set to 25:26 from Hawks’ point of view after twelve minutes.
