"CJ McCollum sank a quick mid-range jumper on the final possession, putting his team ahead by one. With 12 seconds left on the clock, New York had adequate time to conjure up a design play for Jalen Brunson to take the final shot."
"The Knicks fell behind early, allowing the Hawks to outscore them 33-21 in the first quarter. They faced multiple double-digit deficits throughout both halves."
"Their defense was no match for McCollum, who had Brunson's number throughout the affair with 23 points. In this instance, you can't blame Brown for questionable decision making."
