The Knicks seemed to finally become clear. But they should have learned this lesson long ago.
When Trae Young approaches, there is no “clearness.”
Their longtime nemesis almost buried them again. And this time, the Knicks almost handed him it.
After a ridiculous sequence that saw the Knicks somehow blow a six-point lead against the Hawks, Young nailed two free throws to tie the game together at 137 with 137 with 2.2 seconds remaining – The Knicks weren't ahead for the first time, 8-8 at the beginning of the first quarter.
Jalen Brunson's Buzzer-Beater attempt was overlooked, and the game went on to work overtime.
However, Young didn't get a last laugh this time.
Despite scoring six more points in overtime and bringing him to 38 for the game, the Knicks survived in a 149-148 victory at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, entering the All-Star break with a high on memos Ta.
Branson drilled the clutch jumper to give the Knicks a one-point lead with 11.1 seconds left in overtime. That was enough – barely.
After Josh Hart hit two free throws to give the Knicks a 18-second remaining six-pointer in the fourth quarter, the Knicks made a quick three-pointer to the town of Georges Nian and Karl Anthony He gave up and then handed over the ball to Dyson Daniels in the inbounds.
The town then fouled Daniels, and he made his first free throw. However, he missed the second free throw and grabbed his own rebound and cooked it to Young.
However, on Wednesday, the Knicks marked the second straight game where they beat Young and the Hawks after Atlanta's December 11 victory, after he pretended to roll the dice with the logo.
This time the dice will not roll. Only one big scary thing.
