Josh Hart pirouetted as he swiped the ball from Guerschon Yabusele, then floated the pass to Mikal Bridges for the alley-oop slam, then screamed as Bridges hung on the rim with one hand. That was the exclamation point on a Wednesday night when the “Nova Knicks’” fingerprints were all over a 125-119 overtime victory over the shorthanded 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.

The New York Knicks may mean serious business on the court, as evidenced by their 125-119 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night that required an extra period. But the duo of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart is the gift that keeps on giving.

Tom Thibodeau wants Josh Hart to consider his words. In the wake of Hart twice calling for his team to drop “egos” and “individual agendas” after recent losses, the coach said he was unaware of the comments but urged his player to study film before making such assessments.
