New York Knicks guard Josh Hart has a strong message for the city of Boston after the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.
“NY is running through Boston,” Hart wrote on X.
There was speculation that Hart was responding to comments made by former Celtics guard Paul Pierce regarding the Boston Celtics’ playoff loss to New York this past season.
“Yeah, I think they blew that series,” Pierce told Heavy on Celtics last Wednesday. “Absolutely. They had 20-point leads in the first two games at home and they lost them both? Yeah, they blew that series. That had nothing to do with the Knicks’ talent and all that.”
However, Hart wrote on Sunday morning on X that his comments were not about the Knicks vs. Celtics, but rather about the Yankees and the Red Sox.

“Y’all know I’m a troll, but was talking Yankees,” Hart wrote.
Hart must be feeling confident about the Yankees and Knicks’ position compared to the Boston teams, and he wanted to express his opinion that New York is now leading the rivalry between the cities.
