The Atlanta Hawks ( 20 - 12 ) dominated in the second half to beat the New York Knicks ( 14 - 17 ) 117 - 98 on Saturday night . The Knicks had a double - digit lead after a 32 - point first quarter and it was downhill after that . The Hawks outscored them by 22 points over the second and third quarter and ran away with an easy win . The key was the second half defense , as the Hawks allowed just 35 points over the final 24 minutes . Both teams shot well , as they both shot over 48 percent from the field with Atlanta shooting 53 percent . The turnovers were the difference in the game though , as the Knicks committed 22 to the Hawks nine . No Knicks player scored more than 18 points and they were absolutely shut down in the second half . Carmelo Anthony was the only player who showed signs of life , as he recorded a 18 point - 12 rebound double - double . The Knicks are in a rough stretch right now and it 's hard to imagine it getting better with this lack of offense . They 'll look to play better on Sunday against the Boston Celtics in the back end of a back - to - back . The Hawks were sick of their bad defense in the first half and shut down this weak offense to pull away with an impressive win . The frontcourt was spectacular tonight for Atlanta , as Al Horford , Paul Millsap and Mike Scott all played well . Mike Scott scored 18 points off the bench and Horford and Millsap stuffed the stat sheet . In fact , Millsap and Horford combined for 41 points , 13 rebounds , 14 assists , five steals , and three blocks . When these two are playing like that , this team is hard to stop . The Hawks will look to keep this momentum going against the Indiana Pacers on Monday .
