Knicks Vs. Hawks: Carmelo Anthony’s 39 Leads N.Y. To 113-112 Win

The Knicks and Hawks scored lots of points .. until the fourth quarter, when no one could buy a bucket. And that’s how New York escaped with a 113-112 win: with no one scoring for the final 1:40 of the fourth quarter.

Atlanta forward Marvin Williams drove to the basket off a timeout in the game’s final seconds — and failed to even get off the potential game-winner before the buzzer. Carmelo Anthony got off 32 shots that counted, and finished with a game-high 39 points to lead the Knicks to victory.

Here’s what jumps off the stat sheet:

• Carmelo is still the Knicks hero, the one it needs if not the one it deserves. Anthony took nearly half the Knicks total field goal attempts in the first half. He leads New York with 20 points.

Game Date/Time: Sunday, April 22, 1 p.m. ET

Location: Philips Arena, Atlanta
