The New York Knicks pulled off a gritty 119-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors 🏆 in San Francisco on Monday, snapping the Warriors' home-court momentum with their third consecutive loss. The Knicks’ defense proved unstoppable, holding opponents under 100 points for five straight games before this clash—but it was Josh Hart’s *full 48-minute masterclass* that stole the spotlight.
Hart dropped his fifth career triple-double (10 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) 💥 while battling for every loose ball and fueling fast breaks. His hustle helped the Knicks, the NBA’s slowest-paced team this season, keep up with the Warriors’ transition game (15-12 edge). 🛡️ Fans dubbed him 'Iron Man' on social media for playing the entire game!
Key Stats:
- 🔥 Knicks’ defense: 5-game under-100 streak snapped, but intensity remains.
- 🚀 Hart’s 50-50 rebounds turned into instant offense.
- 🏀 Warriors’ Steph Curry: 27 points, but team struggles continue.
With playoffs looming, the Knicks are proving they’re more than just a slow grind—Hart’s energy might just be their secret weapon. 💪
