NEW YORK CITY — The Utah Jazz’s first win streak of the season didn’t last long as they dropped in a blowout to the New York Knicks on Friday.
The tone was set early as New York broke the game open with a 41-13 advantage in the first quarter. Utah went on to win the second and fourth quarters, but couldn’t make up enough ground in the end.
Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George led the way for the Jazz with 18 apiece. Jalen Brunson continued his early-season tear with 33.
Utah will return home to play four of the next five at Delta Center.

The good news, the @utahjazz are +2 over the last 18:30 of the game.
The bad news, the @nyknicks were +23 over the first 5:30 of the game.

The Jazz still seem to blow some seemingly simple switches on ball screens.
Latest one with Svi and Lauri both staying with Josh Hart, and Jalen Brunson springing for a wide-open three.

It isn’t just a bad Jazz game, it’s a great Knicks game.
NY is shooting 52/52/94 compared to 35/30/75 for Utah.
Not to mention, more assists, more rebounds, fewer turnovers, etc etc.

The @nyknicks made sure the @utahjazz weren’t going to climb back into this one, extending their 21-point halftime lead to 38 after a 47-30 third quarter.

Fourth Quarter
Honestly, if Walt Clayton Jr. starts hitting threes consistently (he has a career-high three in the fourth quarter alone), he might be hard to keep out of the rotation.
Good for him to use these blowout minutes to continue to improve.

The @utahjazz get blown out by the @nyknicks 146-112 to wrap up the road trip with a 1-1 record.
