Coming off of his most productive game of the series, Johnson struggled in Game 4. In addition to a 1-of-5 night from beyond the arc, the Hawks’ All-Star forward did not record any defensive stats. Give New York’s Josh Hart and OG Anunoby credit for their defensive work, but the Hawks need more from Johnson if they’re to win this series. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York with the series tied at two games apiece.

As a team, the Hawks shot 10-of-41 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and Alexander-Walker was responsible for five of the makes. While he had a good night shooting the basketball, the NBA’s Most Improved Player did not provide much value overall. And the Knicks have done a good job of defending Alexander-Walker thus far, as he’s scored 17 points or less in all four games. With the series tied at two games apiece, the teams return to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday.

While McCollum once again led the Hawks in scoring, the Knicks did a much better job of defending him in Game 4. The veteran guard missed all four of his three-point attempts, and the Hawks were 10-of-41 as a team. And with the Knicks playing far better than they did in Game 3, this was the recipe for a 16-point New York victory. McCollum and the Hawks will look to regain home-court advantage with a win on Tuesday in New York.

After getting little production from Hart of Mikal Bridges in Game 3 on Thursday, the Knicks received better efforts from both in Game 4. Hart finished one rebound shy of a double-double, while Bridges (eight points, two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes) hit a couple of shots early and was nowhere near the liability that he was in Game 3. The Knicks will look to take a 3-2 series lead on Tuesday in New York.

Improved defense and a group effort on the offensive end won the day for the Knicks, helping compensate for a mediocre showing from Brunson. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, the Knicks’ point guard recorded six turnovers. In the 114-98 victory, the Knicks were at their best when more of the action ran through Karl-Anthony Towns, taking some of the pressure off of Brunson. They’ll need to do more of the same in Game 5 on Tuesday.

After scoring 29 points in Thursday’s Game 3 defeat, Anunoby came through for the Knicks with another solid showing in Game 4. His 22 points led four Knicks starters in double figures, and he finished with his first double-double of these playoffs. Anunoby has corralled at least eight rebounds in all four games of the series, which heads back to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday.

The Knicks entered Game 4 needing a win to even the series, and they took care of business impressively. Towns led the way, as a greater effort was made to get him the ball early and often. KAT finished with the first triple-double of his playoff career, and his stat line only lacked a blocked shot. Due to Atlanta’s lack of size and depth in the frontcourt, Towns has a clear advantage, but only if he and the Knicks consistently look to exploit it. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York.

Alexander-Walker exploded with a career year in his first season with the Hawks. The 27-year-old shooting guard averaged 20.8 points, 1.3 steals and 3.2 three-pointers while shooting 45 percent from the field and 39 percent from behind the three-point line. Alexander-Walker set the Hawks record for three-pointers made in a season. Atlanta holds a 2-1 series lead over the Knicks heading into Saturday’s Game 4.

KAT was quite active throughout Thursday’s game. Offensively, he took advantage of his opportunities by making the majority of his shot attempts and finishing as one of New York’s top passers. Additionally, he cleaned up the glass phenomenally and was disruptive on the defensive end of the floor, as reflected in his four total stocks. The veteran big man was also a team-high plus-22 in his 34 minutes.

Anunoby was one of New York’s most productive players on offense in Game 3. He bounced back from a subpar Game 2 at the charity stripe by knocking down each of his attempts on Thursday, tallied as many three-pointers in Game 3 as he had over the first two games combined, and recorded at least eight rebounds for the third time in the series. Furthermore, Anunoby tied a team-high with four stocks in his 37 minutes. A similar performance from Anunoby in Game 4 on Saturday would benefit the Knicks, as they look to even up the series.

As usual, Brunson was one of the main contributors on the offensive end for the Knicks. He led the team in field-goal attempts by a large margin and finished as New York’s second leading scorer. The veteran point guard failed to convert any of his three-point attempts on Thursday and nearly had as many turnovers as assists. It wasn’t a flawless game by Brunson, but he was still effective. He can be even better on Saturday in Game 4.

The Hawks’ most efficient scorer came off the bench on Thursday. Kuminga, acquired by Atlanta ahead of February’s trade deadline, showcased his big-game experience, finishing as one of three Hawks players to score 20 or more points in Game 3. Kuminga is averaging 20.0 points on 16-of-26 shooting in Atlanta’s two wins this series, compared to 8.0 points on 3-of-7 shooting in losses. He’ll have a chance to remain impactful in Saturday’s fourth game of the series.

Johnson had his most productive game of the series in Game 3. While he left some points at the free-throw line and wasn’t very efficient from the field, he still found a way to lead Atlanta in scoring in his 38 minutes. But the fifth-year forward did more than just score points on Thursday; he led all players in assists and was one of two Hawks players to pull down double-digit rebounds. Much like throughout the regular season, Johnson stuffed the stat sheet and was a major contributor for the Hawks. They’ll hope to receive similar production from the first-time All-Star in Game 4.

McCollum came up big in the clutch for Atlanta on Thursday. Trailing by one point with under 20.0 seconds remaining, the veteran combo guard broke free on an inbounds play, possessed the ball, and calmly dribbled right into a mid-range pull-up jumper, which ended up being the go-ahead bucket. The final basket was only his second after halftime. Nonetheless, McCollum finished with at least 20 points for the third time this series. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak to four games and help Atlanta take a 3-1 series lead on Saturday.
