If you thought the Hawks-Knicks series couldn’t get any more dramatic, think again. The New York Knicks delivered a historic beatdown in Atlanta, crushing the Hawks 140-89 in Game 6 to close out the series. It was the worst loss in Hawks franchise history—and the Inside the NBA crew reacted in the most unforgettable way.

By halftime, the game was already out of reach. The Hawks managed just 36 points in the first half, and the Knicks, led by a balanced attack from OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, showed no mercy. But Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t ready to give up on Atlanta just yet. Just a week earlier, Shaq had dusted off his old wing suit to predict a Hawks first-round victory. Now, watching his prediction crumble, he decided to take matters into his own hands—literally.

During Inside the NBA, Shaq pulled out a small Hawks plush toy and performed live CPR on it, pressing on its tiny chest and checking for a pulse. Even his massive hands couldn’t revive the lifeless bird. Kenny Smith waved a white flag in surrender, and Shaq solemnly confirmed: no pulse. The Hawks were done.

But Shaq wasn’t finished. He pulled out a miniature casket, placed the Hawks toy inside, and sang a final bird cry. It was a hilarious, over-the-top funeral for a team that had shown so much promise just days earlier. The Hawks had gone up 2-1 in the series, using their athleticism and grit to make the Knicks uncomfortable. But after two straight losses, the young team simply couldn’t hold their nerves. Their leading scorer in the series, CJ McCollum, managed just 11 points, and without his leadership, everything fell apart.

Tensions boiled over in the second quarter, with bodies hitting the floor and a major scuffle erupting while the Knicks were up by 50. For Atlanta, it was a nightmare closeout game at home. For the Knicks, it was a statement win. And for basketball fans everywhere, it was another classic moment from the Inside the NBA crew—proof that even in the most lopsided games, the entertainment never stops.
