The Knicks capitalized on another key Atlanta Hawks injury to coast to a victory Wednesday night.
"When he plays like that, we're going to be tough to beat."
Already without starting forwards John Collins and De'Andre Hunter, the Hawks trailed by as many as 28 points in their fifth loss in seven games. Young finished with 19 points and six assists. The customary boos he's heard at Madison Square Garden since the teams met in the first round of the 2021 playoffs rained down early, but there wasn't much reason for the fans to keep it up in a game that wasn't competitive in the second half.
Bogdan Bogdanovic, in just his third game of the season after returning from injury, missed all 10 3-pointers and shot 3 for 16 overall. The Hawks were 6 for 36 behind the arc.
