New York was paced by Al Harrington off the bench with 23 points.
Atlanta fell behind by as many as 11 in the second period and still trailed by five late in the third. The Hawks then went on a 12-point run to take the lead for good. A 3-pointer by Jamal Crawford finished off the surge, giving Atlanta a 78-71 lead with 2:50 left in the third.
The Knicks came no closer than six points in the final period.
