The New York Knicks are looking to build on their Game 1 victory as they face the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series tonight. The Knicks took the first game 113-102.
The Knicks' Jalen Brunson led the way with 28 points and 7 assists in Game 1, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 25 points and 8 rebounds. For the Hawks, CJ McCollum scored 26 points. The Knicks are favored to win Game 2 at home.
One player to watch for the Hawks is Dyson Daniels. Daniels is coming off a productive season and is expected to contribute as a facilitator. The Hawks will need to improve their free-throw shooting after going just 12-for-19 in Game 1.
The Hawks will look to even the series before heading home to Atlanta. The series continues with Game 3 in Atlanta on Thursday and Game 4 on Saturday.
