Knicks End Trail Blazers’ 5-Game Winning Streak
Hart scored 18 points with six assists in his return after eight games out, helping the Knicks snap a five-game losing streak, coach Mike Brown said.
- On Sunday, Josh Hart returned to the New York Knicks starting lineup and helped the team beat the Portland Trail Blazers 123-114 at the Moda Center, ending Portland's five-game streak.
- After missing eight games with a Christmas Day right-ankle sprain, Hart returned amid New York Knicks’ 3-5 stretch and disputes with medical staff over game-speed work.
- Late in the fourth, Miles McBride's pullup 3 put the Knicks on top 109-104 with 3:47 left, and a Robinson block and Anunoby three contributed to Hart's steal-and-layup that sealed the win.
- Hart's return immediately changed the pace as Mike Brown trimmed the rotation to eight players and moved Mitchell Robinson to the bench, and the Knicks are 11-3 with him starting.
- Looking ahead, the Knicks head to Sacramento on Wednesday while Portland visits Golden State on Tuesday, with New York’s defense ranked 28th over eight games even as Josh Hart said his return may preserve him long term.
