New York Knicks guard Josh Hart had a legendary performance in the team's 136-110 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. Hart recorded 30 points, 33 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 made 3-pointers while shooting an incredible 12-of-13 (92.3%) from the field. According to Stathead, Hart is the first player in NBA history to achieve those stats in a single game.

Why it matters

Hart's historic stat line comes at a crucial time for the Knicks, who are battling for a top-6 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With star guard Jalen Brunson out due to injury, Hart stepped up in a big way to lead the Knicks to their fourth straight win.

The details

Hart's performance was one for the record books. He became the first player ever to record at least 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 made 3-pointers, and shoot 90% or better from the field in a single game. The only players to come close to those numbers are Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul, but neither quite matched Hart's efficiency.

  • The game took place on Tuesday, March 18, 2026.
  • Hart's career-high in scoring is 44 points, set back in 2022.
