4 takeaways: Knicks-Hawks Game 3 thrills to final seconds, as CJ McCollum takes over again
Trade acquisitions Jonathan Kuminga and CJ McCollum spark the Hawks to a go-ahead Game 3 victory over the Knicks.
CJ McCollum hits a go-ahead midrange jumper with 12.5 left on the clock and Atlanta seals a Game 3 win on the final possession.
ATLANTA – Game up for grabs, both teams have chances, both sides have capable heroes. So what happens?
Well: There’s a reason the Atlanta Hawks are leading their best-of-seven first round series with the New York Knicks. For the second straight game, they held all the fourth-quarter answers, and in this latest victory, all the closing-second solutions in a game that came down to a final possession.

Knicks-Hawks takeaways: CJ McCollum hits game-winner to give Atlanta 2-1 lead; KAT keeps starting slowly
As expected, the first-round series between the Knicks and Hawks has become must-see TV.
After initiating a 12-point lead after the first quarter of Game 3, Atlanta struggled to keep its distance. New York clawed its way back, leading to an enormously entertaining back-and-forth fourth quarter that saw the Knicks take the lead late. It all went down to the final seconds, with the Knicks failing to get off a shot in their last possession as the Hawks held on 109-108 to take a 2-1 first-round series lead.
These two squads are going blow for blow, and no lead appears safe. Both teams have the capability of getting hot from 3, making it entirely feasible to get back into games, and the collective group of raw talent is severely underrated, making this series ridiculously fun to watch. Not a lot of teams can, in theory, run their offense through both a lead guard and a big man, but that's the case here, even if Karl-Anthony Towns has been struggling in that department (we'll get to it).
