NBA Playoff Drama: Hawks Stun Knicks

McCollum has quickly become the latest villain in the eyes of the Knicks faithful after his dominant performance in Game 2.

The Knicks' fourth-quarter collapse was marked by poor shooting and a series of puzzling rotation choices by head coach Mike Brown.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves also secured a crucial road win, defeating the Denver Nuggets 119-114 to even their series.

The playoffs continue to deliver high drama as underdogs find momentum against established contenders.
