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 developing as a big improvement over last season, when the Knicks were just 27-14 at the Garden.

This season, they’re simply destroying the visitors.

Taking out the lone defeat to the Magic, the Knicks haven’t required any late-game heroics or close calls to leave 33rd & 8th Avenue with a win.

And Sunday was the latest breeze.

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

Six of their players scored at least 13 points.

Josh Hart stuffed the boxscore, continuing his hot stretch with 20 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

Jalen Brunson shot just 6-for-19, but he also drew the defense’s attention, and the Knicks didn’t need efficiency from the star.

Not at home.

At the Garden, it seems, the victories tend to work themselves out.

“I feel like protecting home court in the NBA is really, really important,” Miles McBride said. “MSG is a place where guys want to come in and really get off.

“So we have to be even more locked in at home than other places.”

Despite the lopsided score, there were a couple of dicey moments early in the third quarter.

Immanuel Quickley, the former Knick, went off in that period with 13 of his 19 points, including a trey that ended with a celebration MSG fans might remember — the Quickley gallop down the sideline.

Within 40 seconds of that bucket, Toronto cut the deficit to 3.

But the Knicks responded with a 12-0 run to take control.

Hart, the spiritual leader of the roster, led the charge with 13 points in the third quarter.

The Raptors never recovered.

“Getting stops and being disciplined offensively and defensively, I think that was the biggest thing,” Hart said. “I think at times, we got a little lazy, a little sloppy, but we kind of cleaned that up and were able to build a lead.”

It was, in some ways, a schedule win for the Knicks.

The Raptors (14-7) are much better than most anticipated, riding Brandon Ingram’s resurgence to first place in the division before Sunday.

But they were also on the second night of a back-to-back after traveling from Charlotte on Saturday night following an overtime defeat.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the Raptors came out sluggish.

The Knicks, on the other hand, were firing from tipoff — especially McBride, who had 12 points in the opening five minutes.

The Knicks built a 24-point lead early in the second quarter, giving the appearance of a blowout for the home team.

But the offense went cold with the reserves on the court, namely Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek.

The Knicks’ advantage dwindled to 7 at halftime.

It fell to 3 in the third quarter.

Then the Knicks exploded for another home victory.

“Our fans make playing at home so fun, and the support they give us and energy they give us is priceless, so 10-1 — of course we want to give the fans the best product, the best version of ourselves every single night,” Towns said. “But it’s really the fans that bring out the best in us and shout-outs to them. They’ve carried us to the finish line many more than just home games.”

The good news is the Knicks play three of their next four games at home, including two gimme wins against the Jazz and Hornets.

The bad news is the schedule has to balance out, and the Knicks already have logged three more games at home than on the road (where they’re an unimpressive 3-5).

“I think I’m more leaning on getting wins on the road,” said Mikal Bridges, who did a strong job defensively Sunday on Ingram (just 14 points in 32 minutes). “Home is a little bit easier. So to have that attitude and grit to do it on the road is a little bit more important to me.”
