Tempers exploded in Game 6 of the Knicks-Hawks series as New York built a staggering 50-point lead in the first half. Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and Hawks guard Dyson Daniels were both ejected after a scrum that sent a referee crashing to the court.
The incident occurred in the second quarter with the Knicks leading 72-22. Daniels threw an elbow into Robinson’s chest during free throws, sparking the confrontation. Both players were ejected after review.
At halftime, the Knicks led 83-36. OG Anunoby led all scorers with 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting, adding 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 steals. Mikal Bridges contributed 16 points, and Jalen Brunson added 13. Karl-Anthony Towns was perfect from the line.
The Hawks shot just 31% from the field and committed 14 turnovers in the first half. The game is effectively over as Atlanta faces elimination.
