01:20John Andres longtime color
01:22commentator here on MSG
01:24Meanwhile Towns has now made
01:2510 of his 11 free throws
01:27They just sort of replaying the
01:30video board here of Ananobi's
01:32fingertips on that ball that we
01:34just showed you half of the
01:36shot clock has expired but let's
01:40see if this is why they're
01:42delaying it not updated the in
01:44house score yet but the
01:46presumption is they're going to
01:47wave off that late shot clock
01:49three pointer from Ananobi
01:50which is a shame because he's
01:52three out of five to start the
01:54game from downtown it's been in
01:56a bit of a three point slump but
01:58clearly broken out of it tonight
02:14and nobody gets the bad news
02:18taking it in stride Nick fans
02:23expressing their displeasure in
02:25this building because he's
02:27looking at him tough game with a
02:32smile from Ananobi and Towns
02:37gets both 20 points and 11
02:39rebounds for cat so he's now got
02:4322 double doubles breaking a tie
02:46with Jalen Johnson of the Hawks
02:47for second most in the league
02:48behind Nicola Jokic and he
02:50dragged the foot yeah would have
02:51been a turnover either way it's
02:52Bridges was about to steal it but
02:54it is the ninth giveaway from the
02:56Hawks this and global with the call
02:58he saw it right away defense from
03:01Brunson third turnover in the
03:06quarter from Atlanta Brunson with
03:12sounds driving down the lane and
03:14with the left hand he draws the
03:16foul almost dropped in but yet
03:18another trip to the foul line for
03:20Towns is the Hawks bigs just can't
03:22stay in front of them tonight and
03:23you know what we're seeing from
03:25Carl Anthony Towns or what we're
03:26not seeing I should say as you
03:28watch him drive to the basket he
03:30had gotten into a habit of the
03:32arm bar watch the offhand he was
03:34getting called for offensive fouls
03:36it was frustrating him on drives
03:38because either he would hook or he
03:40would use the arm to hold off you're
03:42seeing in this game he's not doing
03:44it and he's getting the calls now
03:46so his frustration over the last
03:48couple of days about that has
03:50completely changed now because he
03:52has changed the way he's played
03:54and it's something that Jalen
03:55Brunson this morning talked
03:56about where he actually said you
03:59know the refs have meetings they
04:00watch films they make adjustments
04:03you have to make an adjustment
04:04and figure it out to be
04:05effective.
04:06Towns has made five all-star teams
04:10the voting period for the 2026
04:12NBA all-star game is officially
04:13open.
04:14You can vote once a day every day
04:16from now until January 14th at
04:18the Knicks dot com slash all-star
04:20to learn more and send your Knicks
04:21to Los Angeles as all-star
04:23starters.
04:24Just to finish the thought from
04:26Brunson he what he said was his
04:28cat needs to do a better job of
04:30just not using the off arm.
04:33He's done that tonight.
04:35Brunson and Towns of course
04:37started in the all-star game last
04:38year and who knows if the Knicks
04:40keep climbing the standings could
04:42they be worthy of a third all-star
04:44selection as Johnson climbs the
04:46ladder for a two-hand slam.
04:54Towns and Okonwu tied with 22
04:56points apiece and now an offensive
04:58foul.
04:59Kevin McCuller with the illegal screen
05:01Daniels went down.
05:02This is a trip.
05:05That's his third foul in 13
05:08minutes.
05:09Yeah it's just gonna with the leg
05:10right there just leaves it.
05:11Yeah.
05:15Brunson Clarkson McCuller and an
05:17Anobey and Towns.
05:20approaching the midway point in the
05:21third quarter.
05:22Alexander Walker gets loose for a
05:23three.
05:24Missed it short and McCuller pulled
05:26down the rebound.
05:27That's number seven.
05:28Four of them coming on the
05:29offensive glass.
05:34Anobey in the corner.
05:35Towns pushing up the much smaller
05:38new one.
05:39Defends him well though.
05:42And a whistle in a three-second
05:44violation.
05:46He got caught up behind the
05:48backboard.
05:49He had nowhere to go.
05:50Picked up his dribble.
05:51He and Brunson have really
05:55developed a good relationship
05:56because even in that situation
05:57Brunson having to have a
05:58conversation coming down the
05:59floor.
06:00A little dab and let's get back
06:01to it.
06:02A little creep from Alexander
06:03Walker on that side.
06:04He gets it to go.
06:05And missed four of his first
06:06five threes.
06:07Now he's got 12 points.
06:09Hawks are hanging around here.
06:10Back to a 13 point game.
06:12Brunson finds Towns down the
06:22lane.
06:23And another foul.
06:24Towns is 13 of 14 from the
06:27line.
06:28So over half of his 22 points
06:30have been at the charity
06:31strike.
06:39We have a timeout from Atlanta.
06:415-54 to go in the third.
06:44We'll see if they want to give
06:45this one a look.
06:46Knicks by 13.
06:50It is brought to you by
06:51Sprite.
06:52We'll take a look at it.
06:53Initially ruled a foul on
06:54Zachary Reesachet but Allen
06:56it's been overturned.
06:57A rule of verticality as
06:59Reesachet kept the arms
07:00straight up and did not reach
07:02did not go over towards the
07:03ball.
07:04Illegal defensive position and
07:06then here Hawks will get
07:08possession because.
07:09Alexander Walker just after he
07:12was done complaining about the
07:13foul just nonchalantly just
07:15grabbed the basketball.
07:16So.
07:17That is.
07:18Possession.
07:19Wasn't that a.
07:20Seahawks Rams two point
07:22conversion.
07:23The guy just said they grab
07:24that football in the end zone
07:25and remarkable play.
07:26Change the game.
07:28That's why you never know I'm
07:29surprised that they don't
07:30hammer that home more now
07:31after a whistle after the
07:32default grab the basketball.
07:33You should never know.
07:34The Knicks will come out of
07:35that timeout initially with
07:36Brunson Clarkson McCuller
07:37Annanoby and Towns and
07:39there's a wet spot underneath
07:42the left side basket will
07:43cause a delay.
07:44I believe that's spillage
07:45Tyler.
07:47541 to go in the third.
07:49Knicks by 13.
07:50Mike Brown putting a lot of
07:51trust into his bench.
07:52Especially Kevin McCuller
07:53jr.
07:54And Alan you said these exact
07:55words in the first half.
07:56Somewhere Josh Hart is
07:57smiling watching Kevin
07:58McCuller and you were right.
07:59Josh Hart right around
08:00halftime.
08:01showing his support for a young
08:02player he's mentored.
08:03And listen to those fans.
08:04Let's go Knicks is the chant
08:05here in Atlanta.
08:09New on the baseline.

09:01Сад finds Daniels, wide open 3, missed it short.
09:04Дайсон Daniels is 7-53 on three-pointers this year.
09:09That's 13%.
09:10Бронсон in the paint, floater, yes.
09:19Now Johnson, double-team from McCuller,
09:22passed out of it to a wide-open Alexander Walker.
09:25And he hits another 3.
09:26The Knicks are getting caught up, and they're going east-west
09:32and setting double screens to get their three-point shooters open
09:36and try to get them into rhythm.
09:38Now Brunson inside the Towns.
09:41That's a smaller Daniels on him, and he wrapped him up for two more free throws.
09:49Just a first foul on Daniels.
09:51Very mature game we're seeing from Carl Anthony Towns.
09:54It's a very grown-up, grown-man game right now.
09:57Time now for our trivia question, brought to you by Cadillac.
10:00Since 1975-76, Jordan Clarkson has the seventh most 20-point games off the bench.
10:08He's done it 139 times.
10:10Who has the most 20-point games off the bench since 75-76?
10:15Post your answer to hashtag Cadillac trivia.
10:20Towns has made 14 free throws tonight.
10:22The Knicks, as a team in their last game, hit 17 against Cleveland.
10:43Remember, he had a 44-point double-double last year against the Hawks.
10:46That was a crazy overtime win, 149-148.
10:51Teams played five times last year.
10:54The Knicks lost the first two, but then won the final three.
10:58Up 12 again.
11:00Johnson probing.
11:01Slow-mo Euro frees up some space for an easy two.
11:04Johnson's six points in this third quarter after just four at halftime.
11:16Brunson's got the Krejci matchup.
11:18Passed out of a double-team at Clarkson.
11:21Back to Brunson.
11:22No hesitation.
11:23Front rim and tipped by Towns.
11:25Hustles for the save, but it'll go back to Atlanta.
11:28Anthony Towns, four offensive rebounds in 20 minutes tonight.
11:34You love the extra effort again.
11:37Very mature game for Cad.
11:40As you're seeing him trying to make every winning play that he can.
11:46Mature is the right word.
11:47He's got a family now, Alan.
11:48He's newly engaged.
11:50Yes.
11:50But you know what I mean, though.
11:52Of course.
11:53You know, getting some of the extra stuff out of the game
11:55and just playing it straight.
11:57And it's working.
11:58Krejci in front of the Knick.
11:59Match connects.
12:02And the three-point defense right now has to improve.
12:06McCuller, aggressive drive, and one.
12:10What a night for Kevin McCuller.
12:14Nine points if he hits this free throw.
12:17I love this.
12:18Just be aggressive.
12:20Take your matchup.
12:21Right to the basket to get the M1.
12:23To get that answer.
12:24Quick strike.
12:25Take the crowd out of it.
12:26And right after that play,
12:28the Hawk players were getting on each other
12:30about their defense and assignments.
12:33Pointing fingers.
12:37That's something Mike Brown said the Knicks did not do
12:40when they fell behind against Cleveland.
12:43As you said earlier, Alan,
12:44the conversation was just about
12:46how do we find a way to win?
12:47Right now for the Knicks to find a way to win.
12:50It's got to be at this end of the floor now.
12:52Good hands from Ananobi.
12:53Johnson got it back.
12:54And then McCuller tipped it away.
12:56Backson keeps his dribble.
13:02But not his balance.
13:03He traveled.
13:06It's the 10th Knick turnover.
13:09Hawks are as close as they've been all half.

41:02He's getting that whistle.
41:03It's what he does.
41:05Third foul on Towns.
41:07You want to close out but you can't use your hands.
41:16It's the second trip of the free throw line for Young.
41:19He hit a three point play foul shot earlier.
41:23Two for nine from the field.
41:25And even with that make he's got just six points in 27 minutes.
41:29He had 30 last night.
41:33And it should be noted this is the first time he's played both nights of a back-to-back
41:37since returning from the 22 game absence.
41:41Right NCL spring.
41:43See that white wrap on his leg.
41:45And he gets both.
41:47One point game in Atlanta.
41:51We have!
41:53We have!
41:55We have!
41:57We have!
41:59Kolek given some room.
42:01And Anobi out of the corner.
42:03And on a Kongwu.
42:04Bakes it in.
42:05And one.
42:06OG Anobi with his biggest bucket of the night.
42:09And a chance at a three point play.
42:11Power move from OG.
42:13As he has a chance to take the three.
42:15But he takes the ball fake.
42:16Goes strong to the basket.
42:18Using his strong body.
42:19He gets the finish.
42:20And one.
42:22See here.
42:23Just crafted a crossover.
42:25Acrobatic finish.
42:27Showing you how OG has added to his game since he's become a Nick.
42:31And you said it earlier.
42:32Sometimes he doesn't get that call because he's so strong.
42:35But he draws the fifth personal on Anika a Kongwu.
42:38Who's got a twenty five point double double.
42:43And Anobi with eleven points now.
42:45Watch these.
42:46This is the double screens that they're setting.
42:47They've been doing this a lot.
42:49Trying to get him downhill to the rim.
42:51Johnson.
42:52Got a mismatch mode.
42:53A player.
42:54Testing Kolek on defense.
42:55Got the hand up and forced to miss.
43:02Just two points tonight for Kolek.
43:04Put a big play on the other end right there.
43:07Brunson on Young.
43:08Double team lurking from Johnson.
43:12Bridges.
43:13Back to Brunson.
43:14He's got a window.
43:15He'll take the three.
43:16Ripped it.
43:17But Towns gets the offensive rebound.
43:18And Anobi.
43:19With just one to shoot.
43:21Takes a fade away.
43:22And missed it short.
43:23Shot clock violation.
43:25Thirteenth Nick turnover.
43:29Even though Towns got his fifth offensive rebound on that trip.
43:32Here's that great stop from Tyler Kolek.
43:34Yeah.
43:35They're trying to get mismatches like everybody in the NBA does.
43:37And this is a 6'8 guy on a 6'3 guy.
43:39So you think just an easy turnaround jumper over him.
43:42But he shot it short.
43:43Kolek gets the win.
43:45Hocking down Jalen Johnson who's a rebound away from a 20 point triple double.
43:50It's 3.20 to go.
43:51Knicks up four.
43:54Bridges gets the Trae Young assignment.
43:58Pick and pop.
43:59A kind move for three.
44:00It's good.
44:01One point game.
44:023.08 to go.
44:03What a game he's had.
44:065 three-pointers.
44:1128 points.
44:12His career high is 32.
44:14Brunson on Daniels.
44:18Superstar matchup.
44:19Fade away.
44:20It's good.
44:21Jalen Brunson extends the lead back to three.
44:2429 for the captain.
44:30Johnson has Ananobi on him.
44:33He wants to change that.
44:34Now it's Brunson.
44:35Double team.
44:36Inside Daniels.
44:37Alley-oop.
44:42And the Hawks movement offensively in this second half has been the difference maker.
44:46They did not have the same energy in the first half.
44:53Double team.
44:54Into Bridges.
44:55Kept it away from Akon.
44:56Kolek gets a look.
44:57Rebound Akon.
44:582.10 to go.
44:59Young down the lane.
45:00Finds Akon.
45:01Open again.
45:02Hits again.
45:03Hawks take the lead.
45:05Mike Brown yelling at his team.
45:06Get the ball up the floor.
45:09Brunson speeds in.
45:10Daniels on his hip.
45:11In the lane.
45:12Florida is good.
45:13We're tied at 1.21.
45:14Brunson speeds in.
45:16Daniels on his hip.
45:17In the lane.
45:18Florida is good.
45:19We're tied at 1.21.
45:21Brunson speeds in.
45:22Daniels on his hip.
45:23In the lane.
45:24Florida is good.
45:25We're tied at 1.21.

45:56Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
46:26Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
46:56No matter what building I guess he's in he thrives on it hurry grab the microphone after a home win against New York last fall and he said Knicks fans get out of here
47:05Something like that
47:07One point game both teams have two timeouts remaining no fouls to give on either side
47:1534 for Brunson he's averaging about that over the past three weeks
47:23Taking his time Alexander Walker got a hand to it
47:31Up court on Brunson block by an over but it went down a goaltend anyway
47:37And the big offseason signing for the Hawks makes a game-changing play
47:41He was trying to get to that dribble a couple of times
47:46They're going to review this
47:48The ball went in
47:52Even on the plug if it's a good whatever
47:55Rolling on the floor is a goaltending
47:59The page on the review
48:00Ball went in the basket
48:01I'm not sure what the review would be for
48:03They've counted the bucket
48:06It's a one-point Atlanta lead
48:08Now if
48:10After review
48:12The ruling on the floor is confirmed
48:14Of a goaltending
48:15125 to 124
48:21Hawks lead it 48.7 to go
48:24They've erased an 18-point deficit
48:26From early on in the third quarter
48:28This is a phenomenal defensive play
48:30By Alexander Walker
48:32As he was just waiting for the dribble
48:34And he was trying to get to it
48:36Saw his opportunity and did
48:38The closing lineup for New York tonight
48:50Brunson, Kolek, Bridges, and Anobian Towns
48:54No Josh Hart available tonight
48:58Out for just the third time all season
49:00With the ankle injury he sustained on Thursday
49:02Let's get it
49:03Everybody say
49:05D
49:06Nicks were up 10
49:08With 7.15 to go
49:10And now a
49:12Shot clock issue
49:13And we'll start it over again
49:18Tyler Kolek directing traffic
49:32They want Mikael Bridges into the backcourt
49:33As they've got two defenders on Brunson
49:35You know they're going to trap Brunson
49:39They're going to try to jump the first pass
49:44Easy handoff
49:49And Brunson
49:50Dribble ahead
49:51Same matchup as last time
49:55At the foul line with Alexander Walker
49:59Steps back
50:00Takes the two
50:00Missed it
50:01And Anobi
50:02Soars in for the rebound
50:03He's got it
50:04Pump fake and he's fouled by Okonwu
50:06OG Ananobi
50:08With the Knicks 19th offensive rebound of the game
50:12Will get two big foul shots here
50:14And Okonwu is fouled out
50:19That is not a small detail on Yekka Okonwu
50:30Team high 31 points
50:32And a team high 14 rebounds
50:34And a team high 6 threes
50:40That's your time on the court
50:46Presented by Chevy Offers.com
50:48Winning that for Okonwu
50:51One point shy of a career high
50:52First free throw
50:55Ties the game
50:56Now Mitchell Robinson
50:58And Kevin McCullough Jr.
51:00Will check into the game
51:02You want rebounding
51:03You want defense
51:04You want McCullough
51:06Carlton Towns and Tyler Kolek
51:09Wait no Tyler Kolek is staying in
51:12Jalen Brunson comes out
51:14The Towns and Brunson come out
51:1629 seconds to go
51:18Mike Brown
51:28Putting his trust in two second year players
51:31Kevin McCullough and Tyler Kolek
51:33And Anobi
51:34Puts the Knicks in front
51:35To ice water in his vein
51:39Free throws
51:40To make it a one point game
51:42Don't sleep on Cratchit
51:43Parked in the corner right now
51:47Johnson
51:48Finds Young with 20 to play
51:5013 to shoot
51:51Picked up his dribble
51:52Bridges got a piece of it
51:54Comes out of bounds
51:54Near side line
51:55Or on the other end
51:56And it will be
51:57Hawk ball
51:5810 to shoot
52:0015.6 to play
52:02Hawks are going to take a timeout here
52:07And got one remaining and now the Knicks have two left
52:12Trey Young so difficult to guard but McHale Bridges so great at deflections a terrific defender gets a piece of it
52:23Nice and Daniels knows to lay off and let that go out of bounds
52:27For the Hawks maintain the possession
52:30Stay tuned for the Tri-State Audi Knicks postgame show
52:40Stream it on the Gotham Sports app
52:43Bill and Wally will break it all down for you
52:46On a night where the Knicks got 36 from Carl Anthony Towns
52:5034 from Jalen Brunson
52:53And a star turn of sorts from Kevin McCullough Jr
52:56They're still going to need every ounce of effort these last 15.6 seconds
53:01To hold off a Hawks comeback
53:04As Atlanta is desperate to end their five game losing streak
53:11They will not have Onyeka Okongwu as he's fouled out with 31 points
53:18And whatever Quinn Snyder saw in that last possession without Okongwu he didn't like
53:23Calling a timeout to talk it over
53:25But overall the Hawks have made 10 of their last 15 shots
53:30They've allowed 120 points for the sixth consecutive game
53:34But tonight they've had the offense to match
53:37And it's really been the three ball for them
53:39Lights out shooting they're now at 17 for 42 over 40 percent on the game
53:45And that's been the story in the second half
53:49Young from the elbow met by Robinson he's in trouble and it only got a hand in there took it away from Johnson
53:55Running to the open court and he'll get two more free throws after the defensive play of the game
54:00Deflections
54:10Anticipation great hands great anticipation great read O.G. Ananobi
54:15making a case
54:17Defensive player of the year all defense
54:20You better have him in mind
54:22That turnover charge to Trey Young his fifth of the game
54:28And Ananobi sinks another one
54:38Mike Brown still has Kolek and McCuller out there and of course Ananobi gets the headline but
54:44Those two young players
54:46They did their jobs elsewhere on the court defensively two free throws from Ananobi timeout
54:52Quinn Snyder
54:54And O.G. is seven of seven from the line tonight
54:56Knicks lead by three with seven point three to go
55:00And O.G.
55:0415 points for Ananobi
55:06Four big ones down the stretch at the free throw line
55:10But perhaps the biggest story tonight
55:12Twenty three minutes from Kevin McCuller
55:14The best game of his career
55:16Thirteen points and a whole lot more on both ends
55:18All effort
55:20I mean just watch this play alone right there
55:22Who does that look like?
55:23Yes
55:24Reminds you
55:25The play the Knicks missed dearly tonight Josh Hart
55:28But he's trying to fill the void as best he can
55:32Making all the plays that he could make
55:34Including
55:35Look at it like even you're feeling it
55:36You're feeling it
55:37Boom
55:38From three point range nobody's gonna guard me
55:40I'm taking that
55:41How about from the corner?
55:42Splash
55:43I got that too
55:44But I felt like it was through some defensive plays he made
55:47There was a hustle play at the end of the half
55:49Couldn't easily give up a layup he didn't want to
55:52Verticality causes a miss
55:54It's two points off the board that right now
55:56Could loom pretty large
55:58So there's little things that you can do off the bench that can help
56:01And Kevin McCuller has done all of it
56:03And the opportunity he got tonight in Atlanta
56:05Those hours and days and months rehabbing through that knee injury
56:10It had to be visions of moments like tonight
56:13That motivated him through
56:15And all that hard work has paid off in a big way
56:19Oji and Inouye
56:20Four free throws
56:21And that big steal is third of the game
56:23And right now it's about the old debate
56:26Foul
56:27Before the three
56:28A team that's got some three point shooters out there
56:33Alexander Walker
56:34We know Trey Young loves to make big threes
56:36Preachy's a great three point shooter
56:39Foul
56:40Put him on the line
56:41And not give him a chance
56:45No fouls to give
56:46Hawks don't have any timeouts
56:47The Knicks have two
56:48Krejci their best three point shooter
56:49Finds Alexander Walker
56:50Steps around Robinson
56:52Takes the three
56:53He missed it
56:54Rebound Ananobi
56:55And fitting that the ball's in his hands
56:57After making the game's ceiling steal
56:59And four clutch free throws
57:01To help the Knicks survive a scare in Atlanta
57:03A scare indeed Tyler because that's a clean look
57:09From a guy who knocked down five threes in this game
57:14It's as good as look as you could get if you're Mike Brown
57:18That's terrorizing
57:20They could not get the foul
57:22He got the look look right here sets his feet
57:24And just misses
57:30That's how close you were from overtime
57:31He had made five three pointers
57:33Until this miss
57:35They were trying to get Krejci the ball
57:37McCuller jumped it
57:38Took him out of the option
57:40The Knicks scrambled
57:42And Alexander Walker somehow was being guarded by Mitchell Robinson
57:45And he shook him just enough to get that look
57:48And missed
57:49And the Knicks escape with another win
57:52See the upcoming schedule as his three game road trip continues
57:56We'll go to New Orleans on Monday
57:58And then take on the giant killer San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday
58:02Well
58:03We're honored to have Kevin McCuller Jr. join us
58:06After the best night of his career
58:08Kevin can you possibly sum up
58:10What tonight has been like for you
58:11As you help the Knicks get this win
58:13Yeah
58:14You know it's a total team effort
58:16It's a blessing to be out here playing a game that I love
58:18Just stay ready with my numbers called
58:20And came out with a dub
58:22So Josh Hart tweeted
58:24Yeah Kev in the first half
58:26With some of the plays that you were making
58:28I was daring enough to try to compare a little bit of your game to his
58:32Because you do like him
58:34You were doing a lot of everything
58:36Rebounding hustle plays defense
58:38Knocking down a couple of threes
58:40Is he someone that you look up to try to emulate?
58:41Yeah that's my big bro on the team for sure
58:44His energy is contagious
58:46I learned a lot from him over the last year
58:48And yeah just went out there and I was trying to make plays and make winning plays
58:51How about what I'm sorry
58:53How about what he said after the Minnesota game
58:55Mike Brown had told us there was a team meeting
58:57And one thing that Hart said said to the young guys
59:00When you get your opportunity don't hesitate
59:02Get out there play your game
59:04Is that the kind of way that you can respond to that type of a message?
59:07For sure we got great veterans in the locker room
59:10They always stand on us young guys to be ready on our numbers card
59:13And now just take advantage of it
59:15And tonight that's what I did
59:16Yeah what point Kevin did you know you were going to get this much playing time tonight?
59:19I had no clue you just got to stay ready at all times
59:22Coach Brown trusting 1-17 on the bench and you just got to be ready when your numbers card
59:26Well it was a great night for you and a lot of fun to watch
59:27Thanks Kevin
