[Saba Sports News] Josh Hart’s wife didn’t hold back in reacting to Jaylen Brown’s questionable move during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
In the third quarter at TD Garden, Hart and Brown were hit with double technical fouls after getting tangled on an off-ball screen. During the play, Brown appeared to grab Hart in the groin, prompting Hart to shove him.
The brief altercation led to a minor scuffle and immediate reaction from viewers — including Hart’s wife, Shannon, who called Brown’s actions “weird” on social media.
Despite the incident, Hart led the Knicks with 24 points in the 127-102 loss. It was a rough night for him overall, as he was also left bloodied earlier in the game after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from Celtics center Luke Kornet.
The series shifts back to New York for Game 6 on Friday. With Jayson Tatum sidelined by a season-ending injury, many expect the Knicks to close things out — but the Celtics have shown they’re still dangerous, and New York will be eager to avoid a Game 7 back in Boston.
