ATLANTA – You know a college basketball game was exciting when NBA players are still trash talking each other 24 hours later.

On Wednesday night, the Knicks knocked off the Hawks for the second time this season and picked up win No. 4 when they defeated Atlanta 112-107. After trailing at the half…

If Derek Fisher knew he’d be forced to run the triangle, he would’ve never been the Knicks coach.

He just never thought to ask.

The 44-year-old made that claim to FS1 in an interview that will be aired Thursday, indicating that he didn’t have enough confidence or experience to question Phil Jackson….

ATLANTA – David Fizdale still refuses to “shut up and coach.”

The Knicks head coach has a history of his using his platform to speak on social issues and that continued on Wednesday evening as his team and the Atlanta Hawks prepared to face off for the first time since the season opener.

Before…

Tim Hardaway’s 34 points helped the Knicks end a two-game losing streak and beat Atlanta.

Nowitzki has yet to play this season as he recovers from an ankle injury, but he has plenty to say about chasing LeBron, off-season dieting and Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic.

The game is being played faster than at any point since the late 1980s, and that, combined with a rule change, has scoring way up.

After taking heat for having its All-Star team captains — Stephen Curry and LeBron James — pick their squads in secret last season, the N.B.A. has agreed to broadcast the draft in January.

ATLANTA — The point-guard carousel kept spinning Wednesday and Trey Burke wound up getting his first DNP since his early days as a Knick last season. The starting point guard to begin the season, Burke didn’t seem too understanding of the snub, though Frank Ntilikina and Emmanuel Mudiay both performed well. The surprising part is…

ATLANTA — The Knicks are unbeaten … against the hapless Hawks. The starting backcourt of slumping Frank Ntilikina and ailing Tim Hardaway Jr. teamed up to lead the Knicks past the Hawks 112-107 Wednesday at State Farm Arena. Hardaway returned after a one-game absence caused by a sore back to score 34 points against his…

ATLANTA — Add another name to the list of Knicks Hall of Famers to address the club: Bernard King. Knicks coach David Fizdale continued his campaign promise in bringing in distinguished Knicks alumni to spread their wisdom — and he especially wants King to bond with rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox. King, who lives in…

ATLANTA — Playing its first game since Kevin Knox left for the NBA draft, Kentucky got overwhelmed Tuesday by Duke’s freshman power trio — one of whom could be Knox’s teammate next season. Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish led Duke with their brilliance to a stunning 118-84 romp over John Calipari’s Wildcats, and…

The Knicks stumped Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks with a 112-107 win on the road Wednesday night.

Two of the youngest teams in the NBA meet Wednesday when the Atlanta Hawks host the New York Knicks in their second meeting of the season.

Pay attention, Knicks fans: Duke’s Zion Williamson is living up to the hype.
