Can the Knicks’ relentless defense and gritty stars silence the Hawks and shift the playoff tide?
But sometimes, the hardest battles are given to the toughest soldiers. So on the road, with their backs against the wall staring a 3-1 deficit in the face, the Knicks did what they typically do: stick to you like gum on your shoe.
