In a tightly contested Game 2, the Atlanta Hawks edged the New York Knicks 107-106 at Madison Square Garden, thanks to a stellar performance from CJ McCollum, who scored 32 points. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 29 points and seven assists, but couldn't finish strong in the closing moments. The Knicks initially built a 32-23 lead after the first quarter, with contributions from Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. However, despite a solid performance, the Knicks struggled to maintain their momentum in the fourth quarter. McCollum's late-game heroics, including key shots and a pivotal transition play, allowed the Hawks to tie the series at 1-1. The series now moves to State Farm Arena in Atlanta for Game 3 on Thursday.
