He admitted he made contact with Hardaway but declined to accept it was a foul and gave the referees the responsibility.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDid I make contact with him? Yeah, I made contact with him,&#8221; ,&#8221; Hart told reporters. &#8220;Was it legal? I don\u2019t know! We\u2019ll see in the last two minute report.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tim Hardaway Jr. was visibly upset over that play and its aftermath, telling a simple message during his one-question locker room interview. Asked if he considered he was fouled, Hardaway stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cYou all saw it. It was blatant.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hardaway didn&#8217;t have the best game, as he only scored 14 points on 5-of-16 from the field and a poor 4-of-13 from deep. He was still on the court during the final play of the game and perhaps the free throws the referees denied him would have redeemed his discreet performance. <\/p>\n<p>Josh Hart finished the game with 14 points (third-best scorer behind Jalen Brunson&#8217;s 32 points and Karl-Anthony Towns&#8217; 27 units), to go along with 10 rebounds, five assists and four steals. The Knicks are up 3-1 in the series heading back to Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<h2>Referee confirms Josh Hart fouled Tim Hardaway Jr. during final play in Game 4 <\/h2>\n<p>While Josh Hart said the referees would be the ones to decide whether he committed a foul, Crew Chief David Guthrie confirmed that Hart fouled Hardaway. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;During live play, it was judged that Josh Hart made a legal defensive play. After postgame review, we observed that Hard makes body contact that is more than marginal to Hardaway Jr. and a foul should have been called,&#8221; the pool report reads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> The Knicks are one win away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs and Game 5 will be played at their home. The Pistons will leave Detroit with a sour taste, but will try to bounce back in New York.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/3207227-1714665536-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Orlando Silva&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nOrlando Silva joined the Sportskeeda team in 2024 as a member of the NBA roster as an analyst.
