As the game progressed, the New York Knicks showed strong competitiveness and team spirit in the series. Currently, they are temporarily ahead of the Indiana Pacers with a 2-1 record.
Among them, Hart's performance is particularly prominent. He has averaged a staggering 46.8 minutes per game in games so far in the playoffs, which is not only the best on the team, but also the most in the entire league. This is not only a testament to his fitness and perseverance, but also a reflection of the trust and reliance the coaching staff has placed in him.
In terms of rebounding, Hart is averaging 12.8 rebounds per game, which is also the third highest in the league. His contributions on both the offensive and defensive ends played a crucial role in the Knicks' victory.
In addition to averaging minutes and rebounds per game, Hart also set another amazing record. Over the last eight races, he has covered a total of 26.2 miles (about 42.16 km). That number means he's already run more than a marathon in that time, becoming the first player in NBA history to run a marathon in eight games.
Such a distance not only showcases Hart's endurance and perseverance, but also reflects his positive attitude and relentless efforts in the race. His spirit has undoubtedly set an example for his teammates and inspired the momentum and fighting spirit of the whole team.
The New York Knicks were able to take the lead in the series without the excellence of players like Hart. Every minute they were on the court was full of hard work and struggle, showing the charm of team basketball. Hopefully they can continue to do this and do well in the next games.
