Jose Alvarado delivered off the bench for the Knicks in Game 2 against the Hawks, despite the team's loss. Alvarado had previously fallen out of the rotation but proved ready when called upon.
Jose Alvarado, a New York City native, came off the bench to spark the Knicks in Game 2 against the Hawks. Despite the team's 107-106 loss, Alvarado's nine minutes on the court resulted in three assists and two rebounds, with the Knicks outscoring the Hawks by five during his playing time. Alvarado was acquired from the Pelicans at the trade deadline and had fallen out of the rotation late in the season due to struggles from Miles McBride and Landry Shamet. He had previously scored 26 points in his second game as a Knick but saw his minutes dry up. Alvarado remained ready, stating he was 'chilling' and prepared for his moment. The Knicks lost home-court advantage in the series.
