Jalen Brunson scored 29 points and nine assists in the Knicks’ fourth consecutive blowout win.
The Knicks finished 14-2 in January, one of the best months for the franchise since going 14-0 back in March 1994. Their best was 15-3 in December of 1968.
The Knicks had an early advantage and kept the Jazz at bay for most of the game, as Utah suffered a rough shooting night.
Collin Sexton and Keyonte George’s late scoring runs managed to bring the Jazz back in the final frame, but DiVincenzo’s two consecutive shots beyond the arc eventually fended them off.
It was an overall team effort for the guys in Madison Square Garden. Precious Achiuwa tallied 18 points for the Knicks, Isaiah Hartenstein pulled off 14 points and 12 boards, Josh Hart managed a triple-double of 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
On the Utah side, Sexton led the Jazz with 22 points and seven dimes. George contributed 15 from the bench. Lauri Markkanen and Simone Fontecchio served 14 apiece.
The Knicks go up 31-17 as third in the East, while the Jazz slide to 24-25 as the tenth in the West.
