Josh Hart provided all of the intangibles off the bench in 25 minutes, including the entire fourth quarter, to lead the Knicks to a 126-120 win.
Josh Hart joked that he didn’t expect to “play 47 minutes or have a triple-double” Saturday night in his first game in a Knicks uniform, but contributing at both ends of the floor to a key win certainly represented a nice first step for the trade-deadline acquisition.
In the first home game after acquiring Hart in a trade Wednesday night with the Trail Blazers, the Garden had an unmistakable heartbeat from the start.JASON SZENES for the New York Post “He makes hustle plays all the time, and those are the types of things that unite and inspire your team, too, because you can go on runs from that.”First-time All-Star Lauri Markkanen scored 29 points and Jordan Clarkson had 24 for the Jazz .
Hart’s strong play at both ends was exemplified when he picked off Walker Kessler’s pass and found Obi Toppin for a cutting bucket with a crisp bounce pass to give the Knicks an 11-point cushion nearly five minutes into the second quarter. But Hart drew three fouls in his opening nine-minute stint, and Grimes came back off the bench to replace him midway through the period.
