Knicks staring down critical Game 2 vs. Hawks
NY Post
No one associated with the Knicks used the term “must-win” during their media availability on Tuesday, but it certainly feels close to that level after they dropped their first-round series opener Sunday at home to instant public enemy Trae Young and the Hawks.
Game 2 on Wednesday night figures to be another electric and combative atmosphere inside the Garden, with another boisterous crowd in excess of 15,000 seeking to help will the Knicks to a split before heading to Atlanta for the next two games. The Knicks have been a resilient team all season under first-year coach Tom Thibodeau, but they will need to make the necessary adjustments defensively against Young, possibly a lineup tweak at point guard and better offensive execution following poor Game 1 performances from All-Star forward Julius Randle and others.
