The New York Knicks will square off against the Atlanta Hawks in the upcoming NBA playoffs, and the storyline once again centers on Atlanta guard Trae Young, whose past heroics against New York continue to loom large over the series.
The matchup, confirmed on April 12 — the final day of the regular season — revives a rivalry that gained intensity after Young’s memorable performances in a previous postseason meeting. Although both rosters have evolved, the anticipation surrounding the rematch has focused largely on whether the Knicks can contain the Hawks’ star and exorcise lingering memories of that prior showdown.
Official dates and tip-off times for the first-round series will be released by the league later this week.
