Knicks jump out to a 23-0 lead and rout the Jazz 146-112
NEW YORK -- — Jalen Brunson scored 33 points, including a 3-pointer that capped the Knicks' opening 23-point run — the largest in the NBA since detailed play-by-play for all four quarters began in 1997 — and New York beat the Utah Jazz 146-112 on Friday night.
Deuce McBride was 7 for 10 from 3-point range and added 22 points for the Knicks, who didn't allow a point until the first quarter was more than half over. Karl-Anthony Towns had 18 points and nine rebounds in the Knicks' highest-scoring game of the season.
The Knicks got starting forward OG Anunoby back from a nine-game absence due to a left hamstring injury, then made sure he or any other starter wouldn't need to play too many minutes.
Anunoby, wearing a black sleeve on his left leg, finished with 11 points in 22 minutes. Jordan Clarkson , who won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award while playing for Utah, had 16 points in a game the Knicks led by as many as 41 points.
Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George each scored 18 points for the Jazz, who won beat the Nets 123-110 on Thursday night in Brooklyn and were seeking their first three-game winning streak of the season. Those hopes ended quickly.
Brunson's 3-pointer made it 23-0 with 5:53 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz missed their first 12 shots before George finally got them on the scoreboard when he converted a three-point play with 5:27 left.
The Knicks led 41-13, and the 28-point advantage their largest after one quarter in the play-by-play era. It was the second time this season that the Jazz trailed by 28 going into the second quarter. The Minnesota Timberwolves led 43-15 in their 137-97 victory on Nov. 7.
