In NBA history, home teams trailing 3-1 in a best of seven series have a 70 percent win clip in Game Fives. The Knicks are at home and I think finally, and I repeat finally, Julius Randle goes off and has a monster game. He averaged over 30 points vs. Atlanta in the regular season. The playoffs? Not so much. But it's a big spot here. Go New York, go New York, go!

On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks will face the Knicks in a potential close-out game. If not for a halftime adjustment to start Derrick Rose, this series would likely be over. Look for the Hawks to continue to excel in second halves as they do not want to give the Knicks life for a possible sixth or seventh game.
