MSG continues to be house of horrors for Knicks during playoffs

The World’s Most Famous Arena has proven again to be a tougher place for the Knicks to post victories than road venues in Detroit and Boston have been so far in the playoffs.Tom Thibodeau’s team is a sparkling 5-0 in the postseason this spring away from New York — including two 20-point comeback wins at TD Garden to open this series — but they fell to 1-3 at Madison Square Garden with Saturday’s 115-93 spanking by the Celtics.“I don’t know [why].I can’t pinpoint one thing,” Josh Hart said after the game.

“The fans are coming out and supporting and showing love, and we’ve got to make sure that’s not wasted.“We’ve just got to watch the film, we’ve got to get better, and we know that they’ll come out again Monday.”Indeed, the normal passel of celebrities and rabid fans were into the game from the outset, especially welcoming the Knicks back to MSG after the two thrilling come-from-behind wins swiped against the defending champs in Beantown.But with the Celtics racing out to a 36-20 lead in the first quarter and outscoring the Knicks 48-6 from beyond the 3-point arc through three — and by 60-15 overall — the home crowd was taken out of the game early and barely was a factor.“I mean, it’s disappointing to lose, in general.Doesn’t matter if it’s home or away,” Karl-Anthony Towns said.

“Obviously you want to win in front of your fans, but regardless, wherever we could get a win, we’ll take those W’s.We just didn’t do enough tonight to come out with a win.”The Knicks will try to be better on their home court Monday night in Game 4.

They were 27-14 at MSG during the regular season and 24-17 on the road, tied for the fourth-best away record in the NBA.Sports+ subscribers: Sign up for Inside the Knicks to get daily newsletter coverage and join Expert Take for insider texts about the series.“I think you look at each game by itself.You say, ‘OK, we didn’t lose the game because we were at home.
