New York Knicks wing Josh Hart successfully pulled off one of the most creative, ambitious 3-point attempts you’ll ever see in an NBA game.
If you had a hundred guesses for what Hart would do to shake his defender on the perimeter, you probably never would have guessed that he would have thrown the ball off his back.
But in the fourth quarter, as Jrue Holiday closed out on him after a potential catch-and-shoot from the corner, that is exactly what Hart attempted. It was bold, reckless and just crazy enough to work.

NBA fans couldn’t believe what they saw from Hart, who hit the 3-pointer on this wild possession.
Hart went on to play a game-high 43 minutes for the Knicks, who were not able to defeat the Celtics in this competitive match between the two Eastern Conference rivals.
But those who watched the game will probably walk away from it mostly thinking about the unexpected possession from Hart.
Whatever the scoreboard winds up saying at the final buzzer, Josh Hart will always have done this in an NBA game. there's more than one way to win. https://t.co/fOKLrYIs7f
