Josh Hart achieved something incredible during the New York Knicks’ 119-81 Game 6 blowout win to eliminate the Boston Celtics from the playoffs last night.
The 30-year-old Villanova product recorded 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists on 3-for-8 shooting from the field, making him the first New York Knicks player to record a playoff triple-double since Walt Frazier in 1971-72.
Hart, who needed to be stitched up in Game 5, wasn’t the only one with a great game, as Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns dropped 23, 23, 22, and 21 points. Meanwhile, Miles McBride added 10 points off the bench.
The New York Knicks are back in the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years, and they’ll face the Indiana Pacers in the next round.

It was bedlam in New York because it had been a while since their beloved team made it this far. However, for Mikal Bridges, they’re just getting started.
“I just think there’s still more to go. We’re not done,” Bridges said via ESPN’s Chris Herring. “We played hard and handled business, but the season’s not over yet.”
“I feel like we have a long way to go,” teammate Jalen Brunson added. “Just the confidence we have in each other and everything. Just knowing who we are. We tend to be unsatisfied.”
