The New York Knicks will take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, Nov. 24. What must the Knicks do in order to defeat the Hawks?
The New York Knicks are riding high off of two of the best wins of the 2017-18 NBA regular season thus far. That stretch began with a 107-85 decimation of the Los Angeles Clippers, and continued with a 108-100 upset of the Toronto Raptors.
In order to turn the recent success into something sustainable, however, the Knicks must take the show on the road on Friday, Nov. 24.
The good news is that the Knicks will hit the road to take on the 3-15 Atlanta Hawks. The unfortunate news is that, while Atlanta may be struggling to win games, New York has gone 1-4 during its first five road games.
With an opportunity to improve to 11-7 with a win over a 3-15 opponent, however, there’s no better time than now to rectify those issues.
With a victory, the Knicks would improve to four games above .500 heading into a clash with the heavily favored Houston Rockets. With a loss, the Knicks would miss out on a rare opportunity to stabilize the efforts away from home against a team that’s 12 games below .500.
The question is: What must the New York Knicks do in order to improve to 11-7 overall and 2-4 on the road with a victory over the Atlanta Hawks?
