ABU DHABI, U.A.E. — If you’re going to blame anybody for the conference finals flameout, blame Josh Hart.
That was the message from Hart after Tuesday’s practice in Abu Dhabi, where he rerouted criticisms of Karl-Anthony Towns to himself.
“I thought [Towns] played well in the playoffs. I mean, hey, I think the only one who should get blamed is me,” Hart said. “I had a terrible — I think I played well in Detroit, played well in Boston. With Indiana, I just didn’t have nothing left.
“I thought [Towns] played good. I thought the team played well. I think I didn’t have enough to give. Honestly, I should get the brunt of that more than KAT or anyone else. They played hard. They did what they were supposed to do. If they’re blaming [Towns], I think it’s stupidity.”
