This version of Josh Hart couldn't get anything right in ‘tough' Game 2
Knicks fans have grown accustomed to seeing Josh Hart filling up the various categories of a stat sheet like a game of Yahtzee, but this was more like a game of Sorry! for the do-it-all wing. Hart got into early foul trouble and attempted just three field goals in a playoff-low 29 minutes Friday night, contributing just six points, six rebounds, one assist and a minus-10 rating in the Knicks' 114-109 home loss to the Pacers to fall behind 0-2 in the Eastern Conference finals. Advertisement 'Yeah, it was tough to find ways to [be me], ways to help the team,' Hart told The Post after the game. 'Obviously, that quick foul trouble kind of puts you in a position to not being as aggressive. So that was a tough one. Just one of those games. Shots will be there some games, some they won't.' Josh Hart struggled in Game 2 on May 23, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Hart became the first Knicks player to record a triple-double in the playoffs since Clyde Frazier in 1972 when he posted 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the Game 6 clincher of the second round against the Celtics. In the regular season, he also broke Frazier's single-season franchise mark with his ninth of the season on March 25 against the Mavericks.

Clyde managed eight triple-doubles in the 1968-69 season, and his record stood for more than 55 years. Hart picked up his second personal foul with 5:43 left in the first quarter, and he was replaced by Miles McBride about one minute later with the Knicks trailing 19-11, contributing to the latest slow start by the Knicks. Josh Hart gets a rebound during the third quarter. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Josh Hart reacts on the court during the Knicks' Game 2 loss. Jason Szenes / New York Post 'I wish I could tell you. I don't know [why],' said Hart, who remained scoreless until sinking two free throws with 1.1 seconds left in the second quarter. 'We're down 0-2. We've got to figure it out. Have to find the things that spark us, we have to look at everything. It's tough when you keep putting yourself into a hole. We have to figure that out and fix it.'

Scenes from a jubilant night at Knicks watch party as excited fans watch team keep season alive
All across the city, on a beautiful cool night inside Central Park, not quite within ear shot of the desperate roars inside the Garden, where the Knicks were making their Game 5 stand against the Pacers, inside bars and restaurants everywhere, inside anxiety-ridden hearts and minds, all the Watch Parties had turned into houses of prayer, asking for divine intervention from the basketball gods to keep alive the hopes and dreams of the championship-starved faithful. Every single one of these springtime playoff joy rides had ended prematurely and/or unceremoniously since 1973, when Clyde Frazier and Captain Willis Reed became two-time NBA champions and reminded the ones lucky enough to experience it why basketball is The City Game. Advertisement But on this night inside Central Park, a night when the city's basketball back was against the wall, it did not end in despair. It did not end with Knicks fans crying in their beer. It ended in jubilation and plans for one more Watch Party on Saturday night, and maybe one more after that, at least.

Knicks must prove they can rise above Detroit's latest Bad Boys — and quickly
DETROIT — I must confess: I was a little confused when the assignment came in. I thought when the boss wrote 'Knicks/Pistons' into my schedule boxes this week, I was being assigned to cover a best-of-seven basketball series. It turns out, that was only half true. Advertisement The Knicks are, indeed, a basketball team, founded in 1946, winner of two NBA championships in 1970 and 1973 (meaning the last time they won, every word written about team was clacked out on typewriters), qualifier for six other NBA Finals, one-time employer of such notable basketball players as Richie Guerin and Clyde Frazier, Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing, Bernard King and Carmelo Anthony. The Pistons, I have discovered, through intensive research the past few days, also dabble in basketball, and have been doing it even longer than the Knicks have, established in 1941 as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons, originally for the old National Basketball League. They have three NBA championships. They have been led by the likes of Dave Bing and Bob Lanier, by Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars, by Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace.
