Josh Hart didn’t have to say a word.

He gave the Garden plenty to scream about it.

Following a scoreless effort in Saturday’s loss at Golden State, featuring Hart engaging in a shouting match with coach Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks fan favorite served a steady string of reminders why he’s earned such status, producing his eighth triple-double of the season in Monday’s 116-95 win over the free-falling Heat at Madison Square Garden.

“Josh was a monster,” Thibodeau said.

Hart, who finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, four steals and one block, recorded his 14th triple-double since joining the Knicks just over two years ago.

Last night’s energetic, all-around brilliance tied him with Knicks legend Walt Frazier for the single-season franchise record for triple-doubles, previously set in the 1968-69 season.

“My playing style is very sporadic, you never know what you’re gonna get,” Hart said. “For me to be in the same sentence or tied with a record like that is nothing but a blessing. When I step away from this game, I’m really not gonna be in that many record books. And I’m fine with that. When I’m done with this game, I’m done with this game, but it’s just a blessing from [Frazier] and my teammates.”

In their return from a five-game West Coast trip, the Knicks (43-24) opened their first of five straight games against sub-.500 teams by earning their third win in the past four games, putting away the Heat with a 41-15 third-quarter beatdown.

Mikal Bridges scored a game-high 28 points on 10-of-14 shooting, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 23 points and seven rebounds.

The Heat (29-39), who suffered their eighth straight loss and fell to 4-15 since trading Jimmy Butler, initially made the Knicks incapable of thriving without star Jalen Brunson, who missed his fifth straight game with an ankle injury.

Miami opened as the aggressor, scoring the game’s first 12 points and playing with the confidence of the group that knocked the Knicks from the playoffs two years ago.

After the Knicks’ deficit grew to 13 in the opening minute of the second quarter, Towns took over, morphing into the do-it-all big man who scouts began salivating over as a New Jersey teenager.

“He gave us life,” Thibodeau said.

After scoring two points in the first quarter, the five-time All-Star went on a personal 15-0 run in 3 minutes and 12 seconds, becoming the first player in Knicks history to do so.

“That s–t was epic,” said Mitchell Robinson.

Towns dominated from inside and out, following his first dunk with a 29-footer.

After Hart found Towns in transition for another dunk, Towns returned to the perimeter, drilling back-to-back 3s — the latter from 31 feet out — to give the Knicks their first lead, 33-31, with 7:30 remaining in the half.

“I told Josh to give me the ball over half-court, I ain’t gonna lie,” Towns said. “If I was one step over half-court, I was shooting it. … I was gonna shoot a Hail Mary.

“We started out slow and I wanted to add some energy to the game … I got a chance to be aggressive … I wish I would’ve got more, but I was glad I was able to jump-start our offense so we could get this win.”

Miami took a 49-47 lead into the break, but lost momentum for good early in the second half, as Bridges went on a 7-0 run to put the Knicks up by double digits.

The defense did the rest, with Robinson looming on the inside and Miles McBride pressuring on the perimeter, holding Miami to 6-of-23 3-point shooting, while forcing 20 turnovers.

“They’ve been defending,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. “That’s the story right now, holding teams down every single night.”
