CLEVELAND (AP) — New York Knicks versatile guard Josh Hart is active for Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers after being slowed the past few days with a sprained left ankle. Hart rolled his ankle in the fourth quarter of New York’s Game 1 win on Saturday. He scored 17 points, added 10 rebounds and made a big 3-pointer in the final minutes as the Knicks stole Cleveland’s home-court advantage. Hart was limited in practice Monday and was listed as doubtful before being upgraded to questionable following the Knicks’ morning shootaround. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Hart’s ankle responded well to rest and treatment. The Knicks are 18-8 since Hart came over in a trade from Portland in February.
