The Atlanta Hawks were back in action Wednesday evening on the road for matchup in Madison Square Garden vs. the New York Knicks. The Hawks suffered another tough loss in this one, falling by a final score of 113-89. But the game itself was not the biggest loss of the evening.
Atlanta was slow out of the gates, as Julius Randle came out hot for New York with 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists in the first ten minutes of play. The Knicks led 31-20 after the first quarter, and to make matters worse, Hawks guard Dejounte Murray left the action after just a couple of minutes with a left ankle sprain.
