The series is tied 2-2 after the Knicks won Game 4, 114-98, and the series, like the momentum, shifts back to New York.
The Knicks have the chance to go up 3-2 with a win on its home court. New York held Atlanta to 24% from three (10/41) and shot 45% from deep themselves (14/31). The Knicks had three different players score at least 19 points and for a second straight game, OG Anunoby led the team in scoring.
Atlanta is coming off its worst shooting performance of the series. If you take away Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Gabe Vincent‘s three-pointers, then Atlanta was an abysmal 3-of-27 (11.1%) from deep. The Hawks also had their highest amount of turnovers in the series during the Game 4 loss (18).
