The No. 3 seed New York Knicks head to Atlanta looking to regain the series lead as they face the No. 6 seed Hawks in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round matchup at State Farm Arena. After blowing a late lead in a stunning 107-106 Game 2 loss at Madison Square Garden, where CJ McCollum dropped 32 points in a fourth-quarter rally, the Knicks must bounce back on the road to avoid falling behind 2-1.
The Hawks, riding high after stealing Game 2 on the road, will lean on their momentum, physical play, and stars like Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and McCollum to protect home court and push for a 2-1 advantage. Atlanta showed resilience and late-game execution that could make this series far more competitive than expected.
With the series tied 1-1, expect a hostile, playoff-charged atmosphere in Atlanta as the Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, aim to stabilize and reclaim control. It remains to be seen whether New York closes out quarters stronger or if the Hawks’ energy carries them forward. Meanwhile, here is when and where to watch the Knicks vs Hawks NBA Game 3 live.
