Hart then celebrated the victory in a loud manner.
Josh Hart has established himself as an integral part of the Knicks over the past few seasons, using his combination of athleticism and relentless hustle to turn himself into a threat on both the offensive and defensive glass, as well as showing an improved outside shooting touch in recent years.
When Hart is at his best knocking down shots from the perimeter, the Knicks are a very tough team to beat, boasting several versatile wings on the defensive end of the floor as well as multiple players who can create their own shot on offense.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s win over Chicago was the second straight for the Knicks, as they defeated the Houston Rockets in epic comeback fashion on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
In that game, the Knicks defense came alive in the fourth quarter, holding Houston to just 15 points in the final frame as Jalen Brunson shook off a rough shooting night and delivered some clutch shots down the stretch.
The Knicks are currently 37-21 and in a race with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers for the coveted number two spot in the Eastern Conference.
Either way, New York will next hit the floor Tuesday night on the road against the Cavaliers, tipoff at 7:30 PM ET.
