The Knicks are building something at home.
A real advantage.
A fortress.
With Sunday night’s 116-94 victory over the Raptors, the Knicks (13-6) improved to 10-1 at MSG — the second-best home record in the NBA, behind only the juggernaut Thunder.

It’s looking like a big improvement from last season, when New York was only 27-14 at the Garden.
This season, they’re just destroying the visitors.

The Knicks led for the final 46 ½ minutes, with a balanced scoring attack led by Karl-Anthony Towns’ 22 points.
