New York Knicks star Josh Hart let TNT analyst Reggie Miller know how the crowd at Madison Square Garden felt about the Pacers legend.

Miller, who had a pair of memorable postseason performances against the Orange and Blue during his days in Indiana, returned to the Garden on Wednesday to provide commentary for Game 2 of the Knicks-Pacers series.

As the Knicks cruised to a 130-121 victory at home, the final minutes of the game were accompanied by the New York crowd chanting “f*** you, Reggie.” With 22 seconds left in the final period, Hart approached Miller at the announcer’s table.

“I think they said ‘f*** you,’” Hart told the Pacers legend, who was picked up by his headset during the TNT broadcast. “I don’t know if you heard, though.”

Miller pointed to the Villanova product and smiled as Hart walked onto the court after the hilarious interaction.

Miller memorably scored 25 points in the fourth quarter against the Knicks in Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals. However, the Knicks won that series in seven games before losing to the Houston Rockets in the NBA Finals.

Thirty years later, the two franchises met again in the playoffs, with the Knicks taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the conference semifinals.

An all-out team effort allowed the Knicks to take the lead, with point guard Jalen Brunson leading the way with a 29-point performance. Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby trailed Brunson with 28 points each.

Isaiah Hartenstein was two assists away from a triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds and eight dishes.

Meanwhile, Hart played all 48 minutes and scored 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists.

On the other hand, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton led all scorers with 34 points and nine assists in his team’s losing effort. Former Knick Obi Topin was one of six Pacers in double figures, scoring 20 points off the bench.

The two teams meet again Friday night as the series heads to Indiana for Games 3 and 4.
