Isaiah Hartenstein and Josh Hart weren’t with the Knicks before this season, so the fact that the franchise has posted only one winning road record in the previous 25 years didn’t really register with two aptly named players who have been providing the team a heartbeat off the bench.
“Oh sh-t. Hopefully we can keep playing well on the road and make it two,” Hart joked after Tuesday’s home loss to the Hornets, his first defeat in 10 games with the Knicks since his arrival last month.
Indeed, the Knicks’ 20-12 road record this season is tied with the Celtics and the Bucks for the most wins and the best winning percentage (.625) in the league.
They’ve won five of six away from MSG since the start of February, including significant wins in Miami and Boston this past weekend. The double-overtime victory over the Celtics was their second OT win at TD Garden this season.
