The New York Knicks (23-10) return home after their three-game winning streak was snapped on New Year’s Eve, hosting the Atlanta Hawks (16-19), who ended a seven-game skid on Wednesday.

Not only did the Knicks match their lowest point-total of the 2025-26 campaign, they also shot 9-of-44 (20%) from deep. Some of that was due to great defense by the Hawks. Some of it was purely stinky shooting.
