The Knicks secured a narrow 128-125 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena, despite missing Josh Hart due to an ankle sprain. Rookie Mohamed Diawara started in his place, while Kevin McCullar Jr. made a significant impact off the bench with 13 points and eight rebounds. Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 36 points and 16 boards, and Jalen Brunson added 34 points. OG Anunoby’s clutch free throws and defensive plays helped seal the win as the Knicks continue their road trip against the Pelicans on Monday.
