Josh Hart pirouetted as he swiped the ball from Guerschon Yabusele, then floated the pass to Mikal Bridges for the alley-oop slam, then screamed as Bridges hung on the rim with one hand. That was the exclamation point on a Wednesday night when the ‘Nova Knicks’ fingerprints were all over a 125-119 overtime victory over the shorthanded 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.

The New York Knicks may mean serious business on the court, as evidenced by their 125-119 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night that required an extra period. But the duo of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart is the gift that keeps on giving.
