Josh Hart Drops Surprising Insight on Knicks’ Biggest Game 3 Vulnerability—Can They Overcome It?

It’s one of those moments in basketball where you find yourself wondering: How many defensive breakdowns does it take to push a team to the brink? The New York Knicks, battling the Indiana Pacers on their home court, staged a gritty comeback on Friday night — clawing back from a double-digit deficit with just minutes to spare.
