Don’t get used to it, but David Fizdale’s youthful Knicks created fireworks, a fast pace and history on opening night.
Scoring a franchise-record 49 points in the second quarter and with Tim Hardaway Jr. adjusting superbly to his No. 1 option role, the Knicks captured their season opener with a 126-107 pounding of the even-younger Hawks.
While the Garden fell short of a sellout (18,249) against a Hawks team expected to compete for the NBA’s worst record, the crowd was loud and joyous at the speedy spectacle.
