J.R. calls out mates after Knicks booed off court in loss

J.R. Smith questioned the team’s heart. Carmelo Anthony looked to have lost his passion to compete. And Tyson Chandler decided he didn’t want to be play any longer either — getting himself ejected with 4:33 left.

It was another tortuous night for the Knicks, but coach Mike Woodson somehow is still employed after the team barely showed up against one of the league’s sizzling offenses in the Warriors.

Stephen Curry didn’t get 54 points, but he got a win and a triple-double (27 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds) as the Warriors trashed the Knicks at the boo-filled Garden in a 126-103 rout, giving Woodson’s club their fifth straight loss with their playoff hopes all but dead.

It was the most points the Knicks have allowed in regulation this season, and the most the Warriors have scored.

Smith did something Woodson wouldn’t do and attacked the team where it hurts during a postgame rant.

“We’re not playing like [we will turn it around], that’s for sure, ’’ Smith said. “It’s not a mental thing. It’s a heart thing. We’re letting people score 50 points in the paint over and over again. We ain’t going to win games like that.

“Guys getting open, hitting shots, running around, high-fiving, laughing, joking. You’re not going to win. I’m not into knocking somebody down and hurting somebody, but we got to do something. We got to stick up for ourselves. We’re letting teams do what they want to.

“It’s about testing people’s heart.”

Known as “The Splash Brothers,’’ Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 52 points with a relentless aerial attack as the Warriors posted 73 points by halftime. Curry and Thompson (25 points) combined to hit 10 of 21 3-pointers.

There was a “Fire Woodson’’ chant in the upper deck during the opening minute of the third quarter and again midway through the fourth, but it didn’t catch. At this juncture, Knicks fans are too apathetic and owner James Dolan heard it all, but isn’t budging. The Knicks got booed off the court at the final buzzer.

Anthony’s woes could have come because he was ailing, admitting afterward his right hand that got banged by Andre Iguodala may need tests, saying it was “very sore.’’

“We’ll see what happens,’’ Anthony said.

Anthony shot 7 of 26, finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds, but his body language was poor and he looked to have zero pop. He also is starting to run out of postgame material.

“It’s frustrating how we’re losing the games, it’s embarrassing,’’ Anthony said. “I keep saying, ‘We got to figure it out.’ It’s time now we should have it down pat. We shouldn’t be in this position. But we got games to play. No holding heads are right now.’’

Anthony disagreed with Smith’s heart assessment.

“I don’t think it’s heart,’’ he said. “That’s his opinion. I can’t go against what he says. But to me it’s the consistency. As far as testing the guys’ hearts, I wouldn’t go that far. We’re not consistent in a lot of aspects. It’s showing.’’

The Knicks (21-38) fell 17 games below .500 — trailing the eighth seed by six games. They finished February 2-11 and are allowing 109 points per game during the losing streak.

Anthony’s body language was poor for the first time all season and he looked mentally disengaged, physically worn down. He also had no spark offensively — the second night of a back-to-back after getting crushed in Miami.

“It what it is as far being fatigued,’’ Anthony said.

The frustration finally got to Chandler, who admitted as much. He pushed Speights with 6:46 left after the whistle and tried to get after him as the Warriors backup laughed at him. With 4:33 left, Chandler laid a hard foul on Speights, who laughed again. Chandler started jawed and got tossed.

“It had little to do with him and more to do with the season,’’ Chandler said.

The Knicks were booed off the court at halftime after failing to get off a shot on the final possession. Anthony dribbled down the clock too far and passed off to Tour’e Murry, who had the ball knocked away.

The Warriors racked up 73 points at halftime, making 9 of 18 3-point shots. The Knicks seemed out of position all half. They doubled, they switched and they got beaten. Again.

Woodson blamed it on the team’s “transition defense,’’ calling it “the worst’’ it’s been all season.

There’s 23 games left — 14 on the road. They embark on a three-game trip to Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota with no hope or spirit left in the tank.

In one of the illustrative moments, a tired-looking Anthony blew a layup with no lift, and Thompson came down on a fastbreak to nail a 3-pointer to make it 91-68.

The only excuse is the Knicks are missing four rotation players in Iman Shumpert, Amar’e Stoudemire, Andrea Bargnani and Kenyon Martin. It’s the only thing keeping Woodson in his job — the totality of the season-long injury bug.

“We’re going to be tested especially on this road trip,’’ Anthony said. “It starts in Chicago [Sunday]. We’ll definitely be tested in this trip.’’
