The Knicks couldn’t pull off a comeback of their own.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of game the Knicks were on the wrong side of a 109-108 score, falling into a 2-1 hole against the Hawks in their first-round series.
It was a game the Knicks often trailed by double-digits, not getting anywhere close until the fourth quarter.
The Knicks trailed by one on the final possession in which Jalen Brunson turned it over.
They’ll have the chance to pull even in Game 4 on Saturday in Atlanta.
