Knicks' Hart Injury, Brunson's Officiating Frustration

0:00On March 5th, here's the latest surrounding the NBA. In the Nix's latest game at Madison Square Garden, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson both suffered injury scares that ramped up the tension. Hart tweaked his lower back after a fall earlier in the game and airballed a three-pointer before heading to the locker room in the third quarter. Brunson took a hit to his leg, limped off briefly and later called it a miss call by the refs. Hart made it back for the fourth quarter and provided a spark with 10 points and 12 rebounds in 25 minutes. Brunson shook it off too, playing 39 minutes for 16 points and 15 assists, despite shooting just 5 of 18 from the field. Fans at the arena fell silent when Hart left, and the close contest fueled frustration over officiating. Coach Tom Tibito's squad felt some calls when against them, especially on Brunson's play, turning what could have been a win into a tough loss. A minor note from another matchup saw Pelican's guard Jose Alvarado take an accidental hit to the face, but returned quickly without issue, playing 12 minutes for 3 points.

1:05Now the nicks look ahead to their road game against the Denver Nuggets, with Hart listed as questionable due to that back-intusion. His status will be the big question as they push forward.
