The Knicks started the game trailing 9-5 about three minutes in and that was pretty much it. From that point on, the Knicks went on to outscore the Hawks 35-6 in the remainder of the first quarter to lead 40-15 after one quarter of play.
And that wasn’t even the end of it! The Knicks went on to outscore the Hawks 67-13 over the next 16 minutes of play and lead 72-22 with six minutes still remaining in the first half.
At one point, the camera panned over to Knicks owner James Dolan sitting courtside with Stephon Marbury, and it showed Dolan exclaiming, “41 f-cking points?!”
OG Anunoby leads the team in scoring with 24 points, five rebounds, and two assists on 9-of-10 shooting from the field. Mikal Bridges added 16 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Jalen Brunson also added 13 points, two rebounds, and seven assists. On the other side, the Hawks have yet to get a player in double-figure scoring.
