Knicks G Josh Hart has face split open by Celtics elbow, wipes off blood to shoot 2 FTs

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart has always a carried a reputation for high-motor, physical play. He showed how far he's willing to go in Game 5 against the Boston Celtics.

Play was stopped in the first quarter on Wednesday after a driving Hart took a hard elbow to the face from Celtics big man Luke Kornet. As Hart sat back up, his face was covered in blood from a gash around the bridge of his nose.

The blood continued to flow as Hart made his way to the bench and the officials reviewed whether or not a flagrant foul was committed.
