The New York Knicks claimed Game 4 of their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks on April 26, 2026, leaning on a dominant defensive showing from forward OG Anunoby.
Anunoby shadowed Atlanta’s leading scorer throughout the night, effectively neutralizing the Hawks’ primary offensive threat and setting the tone for a wire-to-wire Knicks victory.
New York’s win evens the spotlight on both ends of the floor. While the offense produced enough points to secure the result, the story belonged to Anunoby, whose on-ball pressure and timely help rotations stalled Atlanta’s attack and limited the Hawks to difficult, contested looks.
The outcome sends the series back to New York with the Knicks carrying momentum after a performance defined by Anunoby’s suffocating defense.
