Josh Hart's rare, big scoring night propels Knicks to win over Indy | amNewYork
"Hart found success from beyond the arc, making all five of his attempts against the Pacers' defense. He missed only one shot, shooting 92% from the field to become the third player in team history to score more than 30 on 90% or better shooting. He joins franchise legends Willis Reed, Bernard King, and Walt Bellamy on this exclusive short list."
"Josh Hart usually finds a way to contribute to the New York Knicks offense through rebounding and playmaking. He's never their primary scorer in a starting lineup that includes All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. But in Tuesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden, Hart made his way to the basket often."
"To round out his performance, Hart dished out five assists and snagged seven rebounds in addition to recording two steals. Forward OG Anunoby contributed 26 points, eight rebounds and four assists, as Towns scored 22 with 11 rebounds. Jose Alvarado made an impact in place of Brunson, tallying 16 points, 10 assists, and a pair of steals."
Josh Hart delivered an exceptional performance for the New York Knicks against the Indiana Pacers, scoring a season-high 33 points while shooting 92% from the field. Hart made all five three-point attempts and missed only one shot overall, joining Willis Reed, Bernard King, and Walt Bellamy as the fourth player in franchise history to score 30+ points on 90%+ shooting. Beyond scoring, Hart contributed five assists and seven rebounds with two steals. The Knicks won decisively 136-110 without All-Star guard Jalen Brunson due to a neck injury. OG Anunoby added 26 points, while Jose Alvarado stepped up with 16 points and 10 assists in Brunson's absence. New York's defense forced 17 turnovers and recorded 13 steals, while shooting 54% from the field and 44% from three.
