Yeah if the Hawks had a legit bench scorer I would say Knicks in 6.
Atlanta can shoot very well from outside and Brown’s defensive scheme is not as good as Tibbs. I saw way too many easy buckets.
But once CJ slowed down Atlanta really struggled to score also in long stretches of the game I didn’t even notice Jalen on the court.
I can see NY losing games because the 3 ball doesn’t fall , KAT goes KAT and Brunson over commits to iso ball. Plus Atlanta plays really fast. Which can lead to a few wins.
But Brown does a much better job managing minutes for the starters than Tibbs did.

This is why I think Knicks should win this in 5.
