New York Knicks guard Josh Hart achieved a league milestone this season with an exceptional all-around performance in their road game against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, March 18, at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
The 26-year-old concluded the evening with his fifth career triple-double, tallying 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Hart achieved this feat in all 48 minutes of the game, making him the first player in the league this season to play the entire game duration.
However, the former Villanova Wildcat struggled with his shooting, going 5-of-18 from the field and 0-6 from three-point range.
The last player for the Knicks to play all 48 minutes in regulation was forward Jared Jeffries against the Washington Wizards on the road on January 30, 2010.
Josh Hart's recent triple-double barrage
Hart secured his fifth career triple-double against the Warriors, with all of them coming in the last month and a half.
Hart had never tallied a triple-double in the first six and a half years of his NBA career. His recent surge in production could be attributed to his heavy usage lately.
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is known for utilizing his key players for extended periods, a strategy that has sometimes drawn criticism due to the risk of injury.
