In a gut-wrenching finish at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks fell 107-106 to the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their playoff series, evening the score at 1-1. The Knicks, who dominated Game 1, watched helplessly as Atlanta mounted a late comeback, fueled by six offensive rebounds and clutch execution in the final minutes.[1][2] Jalen Brunson struggled with multiple contested shots late, while the Knicks' defense faltered after a strong start to the third quarter, failing to secure key stops.[1]
