Returns From Back Injury to Help Knicks Secure Record-Breaking Blowout

Josh Hart was cleared to play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Atlanta Hawks after being listed as questionable with a lower back contusion. His return provided a significant boost as the Knicks secured a historic 140-89 victory to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Hart, a consistent difference-maker on the glass and defense throughout the postseason, contributed to a 51-point win that mirrored the dominant NCAA tournament success he shared with his teammates in 2016.
