The New York Knicks have been making waves in the news lately due to the controversial calls made by referees during their games. Like they say, you win some, you lose some.

Josh Hart had blood on his face when Zion Williamson, the star player of the Pelicans, hit him with his hand and forearm. Surprisingly, the referees didn't call a foul. This incident happened just a day after the Knicks won against the Pistons, thanks to a controversial non-call.

In the middle of Wednesday night's game against New Orleans, Hart made a move towards the basket and went for a layup. Williamson tried to block the ball, but accidentally hit the Knicks shooting guard, Hart, in the face.

Hart's nose was all bloodied up, but surprisingly, no foul was called. The 28-year-old was clearly angry with the officials for not making the call. This incident occurred just a day after the Knicks triumphed over the lowly Pistons, thanks to Donte DiVincenzo's unexpected "tackle."
