Josh Hart’s brutal late foul spoils Knicks’ furious rally in crushing loss to Bulls
NY Post
Tom Thibodeau just shrugged without offering an audible answer, which probably said plenty about what he thought about the late call that wasted the Knicks’ frenetic comeback from a 22-point deficit and cost them a potential signature win in Wednesday’s heartbreaking loss to the Bulls.
Josh Hart was far more expressive, however, and refused to place any blame on the officials for the foul that was called against him and sent Chicago’s Coby White to the line for three go-ahead free throws in the Knicks’ crushing 124-123 loss at the Garden.
“We lost the game because I fouled at the end. There’s no silver lining. There’s no other excuse,” Hart said after the game. “I made an inexcusable mistake at the end of the game and it cost us the game. And now, there’s nothing we can do about it.
“It was a tough one. It should have been a big statement win for us. It was the first win where we really got hit and really turned to swing back. I got to be better. That one is on my shoulders. I just have to move on from it.”
