The first round of the NBA Playoffs continues Thursday night with Game 3 between the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks kicking things off. As expected, the Knicks handled business in Game 1 at home at Madison Square Garden, but the Hawks managed to steal a game on the road with a one-point win in Game 2, thanks in large part to a dominant fourth quarter in which they outscored New York 28-15 to even the series at one game apiece.

Now, with the series shifting to Atlanta for the next two games, the Knicks must come out strong and retake the lead to prevent a major shift in momentum toward the lower-seeded Hawks.
