It looked like the Knicks were finally in the clear. But they should have learned this lesson long ago. There is no “in the clear” when Trae Young looms. Their longtime nemesis nearly buried them once again.

The New York Knicks survived an overtime thriller against the Atlanta Hawks thanks to brilliant efforts from their All-Stars.

New York trailed for most of the contest thanks in large part to the Rocket's physicality and 25 points from Amen Robinson. Add in a 41-12 differential from their bench, and Houston came into the contest feeling confident against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
