CJ McCollum leads a late rally as the Hawks stun the Knicks 107-106 to tie

NEW YORK (AP) --- CJ McCollum scored 32 points and the Atlanta Hawks rallied to
stun the New York Knicks 107-106 on Monday night, tying their first-round
playoff series at one game apiece.
McCollum led a late surge that was almost for naught when he missed two free
throws with 5.6 seconds remaining. The Knicks rushed the ball up the court
without any timeouts left, but Mikal Bridges missed a jumper as time expired.
The Hawks had trailed the whole second half and were down 12 after three
quarters. Atlanta chipped away and a basket by McCollum gave the Hawks a
101-100 lead --- their first of the series in the second half --- with 2:09 to
play. He made another for a three-point lead, and after Jalen Brunson tied it
with a 3-pointer, McCollum answered with another jumper to make it 105-103 with
33 seconds to play.
Jonathan Kuminga added 19 points off the bench and Jalen Johnson scored 17,
including a basket with 10 seconds left for a four-point lead for the No. 6
seeds, who host Game 3 on Thursday.
Brunson had 29 points for the Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns added 18.
