It's all smiles for the New York Knicks right now.
While the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are locked in a Conference Finals for the ages out west, the Knicks are off to a 2-0 lead against the increasingly despondent Cleveland Cavaliers. Kenny Atkinson's refusal to acknowledge or adjust to James Harden's horrendous defense should make it a quick series.
So with the pressure off New York, Josh Hart decided to keep it light in his postgame presser, specifically about analytics. He certainly deserved to crack a joke or two after his 26-point, seven-assist night.
"I'm never a huge analytics guy," Hart said. "At a certain point they're a lamp post to a drunk person. You can lean on 'em, but it won't get you home."
The peculiar analogy had the media laughing while it flummoxed Karl-Anthony Towns, who sat next to Hart. Towns took his sunglasses off, gathered himself and had to make sure they stayed on the topic for a moment. The big man and Hart then jabbed each other over their college experiences in some friendly teammate banter.
New York is clearly confident as it seeks its first Finals berth since 1999.
