Heroes and zeros from the Knicks’ 140-89 Game 6 series-clinching win over the Hawks on Thursday night in Atlanta:  

Hero

OG Anunoby solidified his standing as the star of the series, saving his best for last.

The 28-year-old was a two-way force, sparking the Knicks early — with 26 points and four steals in the first half — and finishing with 29 points, seven rebounds and two assists, while shooting 11-of-14 from the field, including 4-of-6 on 3-pointers.

Zero

C.J. McCollum was right. He was no villain after all.

The Hawks guard started the series as its most dominant player — as well as one of the best stories in the postseason — but the 34-year-old had a forgettable finish to his first season in Atlanta.

After being held to six points in Game 5 in New York, McCollum disappeared with the rest of his teammates in the must-win Game 6, failing to score in the first 10 minutes, then finishing with 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting, along with two turnovers and zero assists.

Unsung hero

Welcome back, Mikal Bridges. One week earlier, the Knicks’ much-maligned wing was benched in Atlanta and held without a point in Game 3.

He followed with two more single-digit scoring efforts.

But Bridges revived his confidence in Game 6, nearly scoring as many points as he had in the previous four games combined, finishing with 24 points (10-of-12 from the field), five rebounds, three assists and one block.

Key stat

63-11 — The extended run by the Knicks from four minutes into the first quarter and into the second quarter after the Hawks took an early 11-9 lead, giving the Knicks an unfathomable 50-point lead in the second quarter.
