The New York Knicks once more succeeded in disrupting Atlanta Hawks breakout forward Jalen Johnson on April 28, maintaining the defensive pressure that has limited his impact throughout the teams’ current matchup.
New York’s physical coverage and timely help defense restricted Johnson’s touches, forced contested looks and kept the Hawks from fully exploiting one of their primary scoring threats.
The Knicks’ continued success against Johnson remains a decisive factor as the series moves forward later this week.
