The Atlanta Hawks hosted the New York Knicks in a game 3 thriller at State Farm Arena where winner takes the series lead, currently tied 1-1 after ATL led by 18 points after a 3rd quarter surge and held on for a 1-point win.

Atlanta held NYK to only 2 Knicks in the scoring column in the 1st quarter of the contest before Karl-Anthony Towns disappeared for much of the 1st half. ATL would continue to be carried by its defense on the perimeter, ultimately forcing NY to shoot 29% from the perimeter and despite being outscored on the interior & an underwhelming 69% from the line, the Hawks' bench outscored New York by a single point in a game that was decided by a single point.

Meeting for the 4th series in franchise history, the Atlanta Hawks picked the wrong time to get beat down the floor in transition, (a typical recipe of success for ATL), ultimately resulting in a 1-0 NYK postseason series lead.

Unforced timely turnovers and free-throw conversion differential told the rest of the story where the bench also went 0/5 from distance including very limited action from Zaccharie Risacher, an area at SF that Atlanta has to excel if they have any chance to even the series on Monday in game 2.

In game 82 and last of the regular season, the Atlanta Hawks fall short on South Beach to the Miami Heat just shy of postseason play without many of its key contributors however, we did learn about a couple potential tricks that ATL may have up its sleeve entering the playoffs next week.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste expound on the importance of Atlanta's bench production including what re-entering the starting lineup could mean for Zaccharie Risacher's confidence, how G-League experience will help Asa Newell in the postseason and Corey Kispert's surprise perimeter threat running mate.
