NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Jalen Johnson had 18 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in his seventh triple-double of the season, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 111-99 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 23 points and Onyeka Okongwu had 22 for the Hawks, while both Zaccharie Risacher and Luke Kennard scored 12.<\/p>\n
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 24 points. OG Anunoby had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges added 18 points.<\/p>\n
Ariel Hukporti, who replaced Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) in the starting lineup, grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds for New York.<\/p>\n
The Knicks got off to a quick start, taking an 11-2 lead. Trailing 30-29, the Hawks scored the final four points of the first quarter and never trailed again.<\/p>\n
Atlanta extended its lead to 60-45 on Okongwu\u2019s short jumper with 1:16 remaining in the second quarter before Brunson\u2019s runner cut the Knicks\u2019 deficit to 60-47 at halftime.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Walker\u2019s driving layup with 1:14 left in the third quarter gave the Hawks their biggest lead of the game at 94-68 and they were ahead 94-70 at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n
The Knicks scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter and pulled within 94-81 before Kennard connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to end the streak.<\/p>\n
New York mounted a final rally following consecutive 3-pointers by Bridges to edge within 108-99 but never got any closer.<\/p>\n
The Hawks, who have won two in a row following a season-high, seven-game losing streak, became the first team to hold the Knicks to fewer than 100 points this season.<\/p>\n
Atlanta\u2019s Trae Young (bruised right quadriceps) and Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury management) each missed their third straight games.<\/p>\n
