The Atlanta Hawks put together a big performance against the New York Knicks on Friday, posting a 105-94 win that wasnt even as close as the score would indicate. It seems there was a motivating factor behind the Hawks coming out and playing the way they did.

Hawks guard Kevin Huerter revealed that two key incidents from the second half of Game 2 made the team angry when watching film, and the team focused on not letting the Knicks beat them physically in Game 3.

Physical play has been a hallmark of the series. Hawks interim coach Nate McMillan has made it a key point publicly, too.
