The New York Knicks dropped Game 2 of their playoff series to the Atlanta Hawks on April 21 2026 after a late possession ended with forward Mikal Bridges settling for a tentative final shot that failed to connect.
Bridges, who endured a difficult night offensively, received the ball on the last play but hesitated before releasing a jumper as time expired. The miss sealed the defeat and underscored his struggles throughout the contest.
The loss leaves New York searching for answers ahead of the next matchup, while Atlanta heads home with momentum.
