ATLANTA — \u2014 CJ McCollum\u2019s half-court shot at the buzzer was ruled no good<\/a> after a review and the New York Knicks<\/a> held off the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> 108-105 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson<\/a> made two free throws with 1.2 seconds left to give New York a three-point lead. McCollum took an inbounds pass near the free-throw line and took two dribbles before launching a shot that banked in. But replays showed the ball was still in his hands as time expired. <\/p>\n

It was the Hawks’ first home loss since early February and put an end to Atlanta’s 13-game home win streak.<\/p>\n

Brunson led New York with 30 points and 13 assists, and Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> had 21 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. MVP chants erupted in State Farm Arena as a 17-point fourth quarter from Brunson carried New York to its 51st win of the season.<\/p>\n

Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> led the Hawks with 36 points, 20 coming in the first half to help Atlanta to a 57-53 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Knicks went on a 17-6 run in the final six minutes of the third quarter to take an 81-79 lead heading into the fourth. Fourteen of New York’s 28 third-quarter points belonged to Towns. <\/p>\n

Jalen Johnson<\/a> notched his 48th double-double of the season for Atlanta with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Dyson Daniels<\/a> also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds and McCollum finished with 17 points and three 3-pointers. Veteran center Tony Bradley<\/a> played his first minutes for the Hawks after being signed earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Jock Landale<\/a> was out for the Hawks with a right high ankle sprain sustained during Atlanta’s 130-101 win<\/a> against Orlando on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
