Perhaps the most concerning sign for the Knicks throughout the first six minutes of the opening frame? Their 3-point woes returned.
It was something they struggled with early in the Hawks series, a foundational strength of their offense that disappeared once the playoffs began. And Wednesday, they started 1-for-7 from beyond the arc, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson all missing at least one shot. Anunoby has made the Knicks’ only shot from beyond the arc.
Still, they only trail the 76ers by three, 17-14, with 5:54 remaining in the first quarter.
