Great minutes from Josh Hart, who has been on go since the opening tip. Hart really the one pushing pace, getting Knicks into their sets early. Done a great job setting up teammates for good shots and on the boards. – 8:30 PM

Josh Hart just took a shot to the face, it seems. He went down and Luke Kornet actually told the Knicks bench to tend to Hart. – 7:24 PM

More on this storyline

Clyde Frazier talks about Josh Hart getting the first Knick playoff triple double since he did it in 1972: “He’s the heart of the team. I saw the black eye, he was undaunted by that. The good rebounding. He grows on you, you watch him he just does whatever it takes to win a game.” -via reddit / May 16, 2025
While Brown was fighting through the screen, he grabbed Hart’s crotch, though it appeared inadvertent. “It was just two guys that are extremely competitive,” Hart said of the confrontation with Brown. “He’s a passionate, competitive player. We were tied at halftime, he’s trying to give their team a spark and momentum and the same thing with me.” Hart and Brown embraced later in the game to bury the hatchet. “I got nothing but respect for him,” Hart said. “It’s just two competitive dudes going out there and competing at the highest level. Sometimes, tempers flare and those kinds of things. But there’s always respect.” -via New York Post / May 15, 2025
Josh Hart On the need for some urgency in Game 6: “That’s such a stupid question. Every game you want to win, bro. Every game, you want to go out and compete. Obviously we didn’t do that. But the next game is the next game, and that’s all we’re focusing on.” -via Posting and Toasting / May 15, 2025
