Knicks keep Trae Young in check when it matters most for hard-fought win over rival Hawks
NY Post
This time, Trae Young rolled snake eyes.
The Knicks got revenge on the Hawks and their nemesis on MLK Day, with Young going ice-cold down the stretch and stifled by Mikal Bridges in New York’s 119-110 gut-check victory.
“It was a big win for us,” said Jalen Brunson, who led all scorers with 34 points.
The matinee represented the first game against the Hawks since Young beat the Knicks on Dec. 16, and infamously pretended to roll dice on the MSG midcourt logo. That game and moment served as an indictment on the lack of toughness and identity from these Knicks compared to last season’s squad.
