The Knicks, in their first postseason game since 2013, came up short in Game 1 Sunday thanks to a go-ahead shot by Hawks guard Trae Young in the waning seconds. Atlanta ultimately won the matchup by a score of 107-105 in front of 15,000 fans at The Garden.

Game 2 is a must-win for New York — there’s no chance Tom Thibodeau’s squad wants to head down to Atlanta with a 2-0 deficit in the series.
