In dispatching the shorthanded Mavericks 128-113 on Tuesday, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart became the first Knicks duo ever to complete triple-doubles in the same game. And they did it with plenty of time to spare.

Josh Hart said the goal in the second half of the 110-93 win over Portland was pretty simple, "Play better defense and play harder." The Knicks did both while on the offensive end, OG Anunoby continues to ascend with his sixth consecutive game of 20 points or more.

Hart’s career exceeded his wildest dreams. He has officially taken his rightful place in Knicks basketball lore.

Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns etched their names into franchise history, a pair of triple-doubles carrying the Knicks to a much-needed win Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The convincing 128-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks was one-sided enough that they could watch from the bench in the end.

Josh Hart called breaking Walt Frazier's Knicks' team record for triple-doubles "a blessing." Teammate Karl-Anthony Towns was happier with the win over Dallas than his triple-double but perhaps the biggest basket of the night came from Kevin McCullar Jr.
