The Knicks added to Miami misery with a 116-95 victory at Madison Square Garden, dooming the reeling Heat to their eighth consecutive loss. New York, on the other hand, improved to 3-2 in the post-Jalen Brunson era and guaranteed themselves a seed no worse than ninth on the Eastern Conference leaderboard.

Josh Hart tied a franchise record with his eighth triple-double of the season on Monday night for the host New York Knicks, who overcame a slow start to rout the reeling Miami Heat, 116-95.

His offensive struggles came to a head in the Knicks’ 97-94 loss to Golden State on Saturday. Hart was held scoreless in 39 minutes of play, going 0-for-7 from the floor. In a tight fourth quarter, he turned the ball over, missed a layup and then missed a 9-footer that would have tied the score with just over three minutes left.
