Atlanta shot 59 percent in the first quarter while building a double-digit lead, and the Hawks held that wide margin for most of the game despite cooling off and shooting 43 percent overall. The Knicks (8-9) pulled within 75-71 with 10:38 left, but Atlanta reeled off a 7-0 run to cushion the lead.
Mike Bibby scored 14 points and Marvin Williams and Josh Smith added 13 apiece for the Hawks, who endured a poor shooting game from leading scorer Joe Johnson. Johnson was 3-of-15 from the field for seven points, but he led the Hawks with 10 rebounds and seven assists.
