NBA playoffs: New MSG villain McCollum leads Hawks back from 12 down to stun Knicks

• Atlanta level series 1-1 after late comeback in New York

• Minnesota and Cleveland also win on Monday night

CJ McCollum scored 32 points and the Atlanta Hawks rallied to stun the New York Knicks 107-106 on Monday night, tying their first-round playoff series at one game apiece.

McCollum led a late surge that was almost for naught when he missed two free throws with 5.6 seconds remaining. The Knicks rushed the ball up the court without any timeouts left, but Mikal Bridges missed a jumper as time expired.
