Josh Hart Erupts for Playoff Career-High 26 Points in Game 2
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart scored a playoff career-high 26 points in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, burning a defense that had been daring him to shoot. The 30-year-old went 10-for-21 from the field and a scorching 5-for-11 from deep, adding seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals. It was a sharp turnaround after Game 1, when Hart was benched down the stretch amid a 26.7 percent slump from three. Cleveland left him open by design again, and this time he made them pay. With Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns all scoring in double figures, Hart's three-point variance is the swing factor in his line. The threes won't always fall like this, but the assists, boards, and steals keep his floor steady as New York heads to Cleveland up 2-0.
