Josh Hart's triple-double leads Knicks past Jazz
Andy Larsen: Knicks beat the Jazz 119-103… the Jazz’s offense really struggled tonight despite the Knicks’ lack of rim protection. Josh Hart had a trip-dub, KAT had 31/21. Sexton and Clarkson had 25. Miami/Orlando B2B next.Source: x.com What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Hart is fourth in the NBA in true shooting percentage right now. The three players ahead of him are big men. The six behind him are bigs.

Bourbon Street, spent my fair share of time on Bourbon Street. So your heart goes out to everyone there, and your prayers goes out to everyone there. “New Orleans always has had a special spot in my heart. It’s just tragic what happened.” -via New York Post / January 1, 2025 To get the sophomore to practice the way he played in games, Villanova and former Knicks teammate Ryan Arcidiacono told The Athletic that coaches would have to intentionally push Hart’s buttons. Wildcats assistant coach Ashley Howard said the staff “would have to talk trash” to Hart in order to get him engaged. Former Villanova head coach Jay Wright would challenge him separately in ways that “you can’t say in an interview.” Bridges started his college career on the scout team and would be matched up against Hart. He ended up being the target of Hart’s aggressive energy directed toward the coaches. “Josh use to terrorize Mikal early on,” Howard told The Athletic. “Mikal wasn’t physically where he eventually got, and Josh is Josh.” -via New York Times / January 1, 2025 All five defenders understand Hart’s patented step-through is on the way. They scout it, yell it out in the moment and get to the correct spots on the court to stop it. But Hart finishes the finger roll, sometimes an old-fashioned three-point play, anyway. “If you wanna stop me from doing that or keep me off the glass, that’s a game plan,” Hart told The Athletic as he got ready for Monday night’s bout against the Washington Wizards. “But at the end of the day, at some point, you’re gonna break, whether that’s the five-minute mark of the first quarter or the two-minute mark of the fourth quarter. I just know you’re gonna break at some point, and I’ll capitalize, just because that’s ingrained in me.” -via New York Times / December 31, 2024

One Knicks item that’s gone overlooked this season is just how efficient Josh Hart has been.
Hart is fourth in the NBA in true shooting percentage right now. The three players ahead of him are big men. The six behind him are bigs.
He’s got 17 points on 8 shots so far tonight. – 7:57 PM
