Speaking to reporters after their historic 54-point demolition win against the Brooklyn Nets, the Knicks forward noted the reporting as way too overblown.
“We didn’t have a players-only meeting. Y’all dragging it,” Hart said. “We didn’t have a players-only meeting. I don’t know who said it, who did all that, but we didn’t have a players-only meeting.
ESPN's Ramona Shelburne revealed the news that Jalen Brunson conducted the players' meeting. The move was reportedly made after the team lost nine of its last 11 games.
Last Monday, the Knicks were harshly booed by Madison Square Garden fans in their 114-97 home loss against the Dallas Mavericks.
“We talked, but it wasn’t like some big thing. So that got dragged. We didn’t have a players-only meeting,” Hart added. “We know what we have to do. We cleared stuff up yesterday in film and practice and today in walkthroughs.
"We know we haven’t been playing up to our capabilities, but we’re gonna continue to play off this win.”
