NEW YORK — With three minutes left in Game 7, Josh Hart did something he almost never does. He moved slowly.
He’d just discarded Andrew Nembhard, sending the Pacers guard to the floor while jockeying for rebounding position. In the process, he picked up his sixth foul, granting him an early exit — all too rare for the iron man who, for the moment, leads the 2024 postseason in minutes played — and one last walk across the hardwood before the long summer into which Indiana sent the Knicks with a 130-109 blowout in a somber Sunday matinee at Madison Square Garden.
