The road warriors are back home for the holidays, and the Knicks will be looking to continue the success at Madison Square Garden that has manifested into emerging as one of the best away teams in the NBA this season. 

The Knicks’ sweep of two games in Chicago and one in Indiana leaves them with six consecutive road victories — and seven straight wins overall — entering the opener of a four-game homestand through Christmas beginning with Tuesday’s game at the Garden against the injury-depleted Warriors. 

Tom Thibodeau’s surging squad is now 10-6 away from the Garden this season — trailing only the Celtics’ 11-5 road mark for the best in the NBA. They still own a middling 7-7 mark overall on their home court, although their current surge also has featured wins there against the Cavaliers, Hawks and Kings this month. 

“I think to win, it’s your defense, your rebounding and keeping your turnovers down. That puts you in position to win,” Thibodeau said after Sunday’s three-point win over the Pacers. “And if we keep doing what we’re doing offensively — we’re creating rhythm for each other — we’re gonna score plenty of points. 

“So, we have to understand what goes into winning and then how you win. Each game is different. Like, win streaks don’t mean anything. This game won’t mean anything in our next game. You gotta start all over, put the work into preparation and then when the ball goes up, be ready to go.” 

The Knicks (17-13) will look to keep it going against the Warriors, who will be without Stephen Curry (shoulder) for the third straight game. Andrew Wiggins (adductor strain) also will miss his eighth in a row. The homestand continues Wednesday night against the Raptors followed by games Friday against the Bulls and Sunday at noon against the 76ers in a Christmas matinee. 

“We’re just focused. Whenever we’re on the road it’s just us on the road. At home obviously we all go our own separate ways, we have homes, families, all that stuff,” Jalen Brunson said after Sunday’s win. “How do I say this? I don’t know what the word I’m supposed to use is, but on the road we’re locked in. At home we’re comfortable. It’s something we’ve got to get better at and continue to do that. I just like the way we’re playing.” 

Brunson averaged 27.3 points per game on the three-game trip, including his second 30-point game on Sunday. Julius Randle also has netted 26.7 points per game during the seven-game winning streak, including six straight free throws in the final minute against the Pacers. 

“This [was] a tough one. We were on the road for almost a week, playing a team that we’re fighting with for playoff position and to hang onto a win on the road is tough,” Randle said, who then was asked for the secret to the Knicks’ road success. 

“Our togetherness,” he added. “That’s the way we are. We gotta be able to trust each other out there. We have to lean on each other, and be more focused on the road. But we were a decent road team last year.” 

Indeed, the Knicks also posted a better record (20-21) on the road than they did at the Garden last season (17-24), finishing in 11th place and out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. 

Thibodeau said the team has been striving for consistency in its approach and play regardless of locale, and he’s stressed not dwelling on past games, win or lose. 

“Obviously, it’s always better to win, but to think that you’re gonna win the next game because you have a win streak … if you start skipping over the steps to prepare for a game, then there’s gonna be slippage and then you’re gonna get knocked down,” Thibodeau said. “I don’t want us to get knocked down. I want us to be ready for the next game, and then when we handle that one, whatever happens, then be ready for the next.”
