This series is going 7 games
Both the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks went on runs in Game 1 of this series, but ultimately the Hawks came out on top and are now up 1-0 in this series. This will not be the last time though that a team steals a game on the road in this series.

New York will probably win Game 2 at home, then the two teams will split the two games in Atlanta, sending us back to MSG for Game 5 tied at 2-2. This series is going to go 7 games whether you like it or not because both teams are going to continue to make adjustments.
They just matched up so well against each other and every time they played in the regular season, it felt like a playoff matchup already.
Both teams are relatively young when it comes to playoff experience and given the show they put on in Game 1 of the series, it would be shocking if they did not go the distance in this series.
