Knicks ended the Hawks' 13-game home win streak 108-105 after CJ McCollum's half-court buzzer-beater was waved off on review

This game had everything. Jalen Brunson putting up 30 and 13 in a hostile building. MVP chants from Knicks fans who took over State Farm Arena. A 13-game Hawks home win streak on the line. And one of the wildest endings of the season.

After Brunson hit two free throws with 1.2 seconds left to give New York a 108-105 lead, CJ McCollum took the inbound, dribbled twice, and launched a 60-foot heave that banked in off the glass. The arena erupted — then went silent. Replay showed the ball was still in McCollum's hands when the clock hit zero. Shot waved off. Knicks win.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker was brilliant in a losing effort with 36 points, 20 in the first half. Jalen Johnson added 21 and 11 boards. But Brunson's 17-point fourth quarter was the difference — the Knicks' 51st win locks them into the upper tier of the East as the regular season winds down.
