Josh Hart said he is "not in a good headspace" after being scoreless and benched in the fourth quarter of the Knicks' 106-104 NBA Cup loss to the Pacers on Friday. Hart is averaging a career-low 7.3 points early in the season, hampered by a sore ankle and illness, and was 0-for-4 from the field against Indiana. He said "Wish I could tell you" when asked how he could fix his issues, and the loss dropped the defending champions to 6-6. Mikal Bridges went 8-for-12 for 18 points against the Pacers, while OG Anunoby shot 4-for-13 and said he was "not sure" why he struggles to make baskets near the rim. Hart had hoped to reach a contract extension before the season, but New York tabled contract talks with him and Karl-Anthony Towns on Oct. 9. Separately, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo each scored 37 as the Heat beat the Cavaliers 133-121 on Friday in Miami, their best performances of the season as a duo. Adebayo also had 14 rebounds, and Antetokounmpo added nine. Miami improved to 6-6 and 2-0 in the NBA Cup after an 0-4 start. Davion Mitchell scored 22 points with a career-high 17 assists, and the Heat host the Pistons Saturday, with Klay Thompson hoping to play after missing Friday's game with left ankle soreness.
