Knicks fans, Josh Hart just made Knicks history, the Knicks took down the Miami Heat in a huge
0:05
statement win, and Hart just did something that hasn't been done in over 50 years
0:11
This wasn't just any win, this was a massive performance that proved the Knicks are still
0:15
a serious threat, even without Jalen Brunson, and we gotta talk about it
0:20
Because what Josh Hart just pulled off puts him in the same conversation as a Knicks legend
0:25
literally rewriting the record books. We'll break down exactly how we did it, how Carl Anthony Towns and Mikael Bridges stepped up big time, and what this means for the Knicks moving forward
0:36
Let's get into it. Alright, so let's be real. The Knicks got off to a rough start in this one
0:40
Miami came out aggressive, hit their shots early, and by the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were down double digits
0:47
But like we've seen so many times this season, they turned it up when it mattered most
0:52
Enter Carl Anthony Towns. He completely took over in the second quarter
0:56
dropping 15 consecutive points and keeping the Knicks in striking distance. This is exactly why they brought him in
1:03
to be that reliable offensive weapon when things get tough. Then there's Mikael Bridges
1:08
The guy was an absolute bucket in this game, finished with 28 points and when the Knicks needed someone to close the gap, he delivered
1:15
But this is where the game flipped. The Knicks came out of halftime and absolutely dominated Miami in the third quarter
1:21
outscoring them 41-15. And leading the charge, Josh freaking Hart. Josh Hart was everywhere, scoring, rebounding, playmaking
1:30
he was the ultimate glue guy and by the time the final buzzer sounded he finished with 12 points 13 rebounds and 11 assists That marks his 8th triple of the season tying him with legendary Walt Clyde
1:44
Frazier for the most in a single season in Knicks history. We're talking about a record that has
1:49
stood for over 50 years. He even hit a couple of 3-pointers which was something that we were all
1:55
begging him to do. Hart as always kept it humble but this is a huge deal. This man is putting up
2:00
numbers that only Knicks legends have done before and it's a testament to the impact he has on
2:05
winning basketball. And here's the craziest part, this happened without Jalen Brunson. A lot of
2:11
people have been worried about how the Knicks would hold up without their floor general and yeah
2:16
they're missing his clutch playmaking but Myles McBride has stepped up and this team has proven
2:21
that they can still win some games by committee. Obviously getting Brunson back is a must for the
2:27
playoffs but the fact that the Knicks can win games without him like this that's a great sign
2:32
and with this win the Knicks moved to 43 and 24 on the season holding strong in the east in third
2:38
place now they're going on another two-game road trip and this time it's to San Antonio and to
2:44
Charlotte which are two very winnable games but the big question now is can they keep this momentum
2:49
rolling as they push toward the playoffs so Knicks fans what do you guys think is Josh Hart one of
2:55
the most underrated players in the league? Can the Knicks hold it down without Jalen Brunson
