The Jazz led by seven points through three quarters. And with the game knotted at 116, Blake Hinson knocked down a go-ahead 3-pointer to upend a Golden State team that was without Stephen Curry and several other rotational players.
Brice Sensabaugh was one of six players in double figures for Utah. He led the way with 21 points, connecting on seven of 13 shot attempts. Kyle Filipowski posted a double-double that consisted of 19 points and 15 rebounds. He also handed out five assists.
Following a three-game win streak, the Knicks have struggled, dropping three of their previous four games. Their latest setback includes a 126-118 loss to the LA Clippers on Monday night.
New York trailed by nine points at the break and got within five points multiple times in the final frame. But Bennedict Mathurin's three-point play and a 3-pointer from Derrick Jones Jr. helped LA hold on for the win.
Karl-Anthony Towns had a solid performance. He scored a team-high 35 points, pulled down 12 rebounds, and handed out seven assists. OG Anunoby contributed 22 points and six rebounds.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The Jazz have dropped five of the previous seven meetings in this series, and New York is 9-4 across its last 13 road outings. These factors point to the Knicks winning this one convincingly.
