“#Alec Burks nearly saved Knicks from Game<\/a> 1 loss to Hawks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Alec Burks has done it several times already this season, earning a heat-check in the fourth quarter while either keeping the Knicks in a game or pushing them to another victory.<\/p>\n

The veteran guard\u2019s 18 points in the final session \u2014 and team-high 27 overall in 26 minutes \u2014 weren\u2019t enough Sunday night, as Trae Young lifted the Hawks to a 107-105 Game 1 victory at the Garden with a last-second bucket.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how it happ<\/a>ened. Give credit to them, Young hit a tough shot at the end of the game, but we fought hard,\u201d Burks said after the game. \u201cI\u2019m proud of my teammates and the coaching staff. We\u2019ll be ready for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Game 2 on Tuesday, the Knicks\u2019 bench enjoyed a productive game, but couldn\u2019t overcome a poor shooting night by the team\u2019s starters, who combined to miss 36 of 54 shot attempts from the floor. That total featured a 12-for-38 shooting night by leading scorers Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.<\/p>\n

Still, second-unit guards Burks, Derrick Rose (17 points) and Immanuel Quickley (10) combined for 54 points, more than half of the Knicks\u2019 total. Burks nailed a left-corner 3 and knocked down another jumper in the final two minutes to give the Knicks a 103-100 lead with 1:11 remaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the strength of our team is the depth,\u201d said Burks, who averaged 12.7 points per game in 49 regular-season games. \u201cWe have a lot of players from top to bottom that can produce at any time, one to 15. I\u2019m proud of them and I see it every day we\u2019re definitely a deep team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burks, one of the few players on the Knicks with postseason experience, said he was particularly impressed by rookies Quickley and Obi Toppin, who sparked the Knicks back from a double-digit deficit by combining for 13 points in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey fought hard. I told them you can\u2019t win or lose a series<\/a> in one game,\u201d Burks said. \u201cIt goes game by game. Just play hard. Don\u2019t let your emotions get the best of you, you\u2019ve been playing this game your whole life. Just keep going.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
