- On May 20, 1999, the New York Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks in game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals 77 to 70. Lead by the raw talented defensive/offensive minded Latrell Sprewell with 31 while D. Mutombo had 17pts along with 17 rebounds. This game was saturated with half court grinding defense, hence is why we see the score below 80 for both ball clubs . The most underrated guard (Mookie Blaylock) in history had 17 pts and 8 rebounds and beside him the sharp shooting Steve Smith was held to just 9 points. Steve Smith was the Hawks leading scorer during the regular season which speaks Volumes about the #Knicks defense. When you have players like #Larry Johnson, #Patrick Ewing, and #Marcus (Umass) Camby waiting in the paint. It will be a long game. Also you have Chris Child's #punchKobe, Chris Dudley, Herb Williams, Allen "assassin" Houston and Charlie Ward #FSU. Although Hawks lost, they did not lay down. They put up a dog fight with players like Grant Long, Chris Crawford, Tyrone Corbin, Roshown Mcleod, Mark West, Anthony Johnson and Ed Gray. Please pay close attention once again to the way the NBA game was played. The half court offense was the most common way to play during the early days. Players posted up constantly because of their size and power of backing down their opponents to the basket. The NBA was considered dangerous to pop culture during this time due to the constant contact and refs letting players play ball. This is not a game like today where you run the floor and put up 150 points per game with no defense. We understand the rules had to change for entertainment purposes, hence is why the game has been watered down for scripted movies. Do not compare Eras.

I've been looking for this series for more than a decade now. Where's game 1 though? 🤔
Somewhere in my pile of VHS tapes. Once I locate it, I will definitely upload. Thanks
And games 3 and 4? Please? 🙂
I knew that the Knicks were winning this series. After scrapping to just make it into the playoffs, then playing the Heat to a damn near death match, I knew the Knicks were going to coast on this series.
please tell me would you all say the 1999 hawks were average or SEMI good in the playoffs and please tell me why the enthusiasm increased SO much for david wingate after joining the 1999 knicks and reuniting with larry johnson and the post elite version of star patrick ewing
87:08 has me saying 6-4 was the road and home record for the 12-8 knicks the 1991 bulls led by legend michael jordan went 7-1 on the road and 8-1 at home so 15-2 and an even more ELITE team went 12-2 being the 1980 lakers who had averages of 13 something rebounds and 31 something points from their VERY best player being legend kareem abdul-jabbar
87:08 will have say i'm also NOT TOTALLY certain about the road and home records from these ten even more ELITE championship teams being the 1967 sixers led by the prime/VERY best version of goat wilt chamberlain and the 1957 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 and 1968 celtics led by the prime/VERY best version of the other goat being bill russell
