Knicks’ Josh Hart Has Historic Stat Line In Game 4 vs. 76ers

Throughout the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Josh Hart has been an integral part of the New York Knicks’ success. Their do-it-all guard has been stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis, chipping in wherever he is needed to help the team win.

During Games 1 and 2 at Madison Square Garden, it was Hart’s hot shooting that helped the Knicks get out to a 2-0 series lead. He ended up making 4+ 3-pointers in the first three games of the series, scoring 20+ points in each as well.

Neither of those things was something Hart accomplished during the 2023-24 NBA regular season, as he saved his best for last. Unfortunately for the Knicks, the shooting stroke was not there in Game 4.

Hart went 0-for-7 from the field, including 0-for-3 from 3-point range. He also shot a ghastly 50 percent from the charity stripe, going 4-of-8. Despite that, he was still able to produce a historic stat line.

According to Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, via Basketaball-Reference, Hart is only the sixth player in NBA history with 0 field goals and 15+ rebounds in a game. Rudy Gobert was the last player to do it two years ago and Ben Wallace accomplished the feat twice.

There is something you will notice between those players and Hart; they are both centers, while Hart is a 6’4” guard. He also became the first player in NBA history to have zero field goals, 15+ rebounds and 5+ assists in a playoff game.
