Knicks up 3 at the half, 61-58
Randle will 11 points. RJ and Brunson with 10 a piece.
Obi had 3 assists and was +9 in 9 mins.
Jericho Sims (7 points and 8 boards) was fantastic on both ends.
Thibs shortened his rotation: played just 9 guys. Grimes and Fournier odd men out – 10:12 PM

Knicks up 61-58 at the half.
Super disjointed but interesting game. Not a lot of good decisions being made.
Jazz are at their best tonight with the Conley/Olynyk PnR and variations off of it. Everything else is pretty sketchy. – 10:11 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Knicks 61, Jazz 58. Some bad transition D leads to a Brunson 3 at the buzzer. Knicks dropped 38p in 2Q on 15-26 shooting. Jazz’s 12 turnovers have led to 10 Knicks points. Utah shooting just 6-17 from 3. They’re in it cuz NY has 10 TOs, and Jazz are 14-18 FTs. – 10:11 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Knicks lead the Jazz 61-58.
• Randle 11 & 4
• Brunson 10 pts, 3 asts
• Barrett 10 pts
• Sims 7 & 8
• Olynyk 15 & 5 – 10:10 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Knicks close the half on a 6-0 run and lead the Jazz 61-58 at intermission. Olynyk with a great half. But the Jazz aren’t getting a lot of stops against the Knicks – 10:10 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Got a little over a minute of Randle-Toppin front court to end the first half. Sims and Hartenstein both have three fouls. Wonder if we see more in the second half. – 10:10 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks just got away with one — three players watching Clarkson all alone in the corner. He misfired and Brunson hits one at the buzzer for a halftime lead, 61-58. – 10:09 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Lauri Markkanen with three fouls – 10:05 PM

Jazz lead the Knicks 52-48 with 2:01 remaining in the first half. Offense has been a chore but the Jazz are doing a good job of creating turnovers and capitalizing – 10:01 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz
I agreed with the offensive foul on Olynyk, but I think that Markkanen one was bogus – 9:59 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Vando with some pretty curious decisions on both ends of the floor so far… that corner 3 by Reddish was on him on first glance – 9:56 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz can’t keep Sims off the glass – 9:54 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Quickley now with 3 fouls, and he heads to the bench – 9:53 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Knicks actually flew to Utah a day early so they could get acclimated with the altitude. So far, they’re at least not looking winded. And if some guys are, certainly Jericho Sims is not. – 9:51 PM
New York Knicks @nyknicks
Jericho. Again. How. – 9:51 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Mike Conley is overthinking his shots. – 9:50 PM

Thibs going with that aforementioned nine-man rotation. No Fournier or Grimes so far with 7:40 to go in the first half. – 9:47 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz turn the ball over out of the timeout. They have eight – 9:45 PM

The Untouchable Immanuel Quickley has tied a career-high in a regular season game with 3 steals. – 9:41 PM
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
Battle of top scoring bench (Jazz) vs No. 4 bench (Knicks) and in the first quarter the Jazz bench put up 15 of the team’s 27 points. But Jericho Sims jumped through the roof on an alley-oop. – 9:38 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks catch a break. Nikola Jokic entered health and safety protocols and has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game. – 9:38 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Jazz lead the Knicks 27-23.
• Randle 6 & 3
• Brunson 4 pts
• Sims 2 & 4
• Olynyk 6 & 3 – 9:37 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Jazz 27, Knicks 23: Jericho Sims with a poster, and Collin Sexton going too fast and runs himself right into coverage as the period ends. Utah is lagging a bit, but fortuitous thus far that NY is shooting 9-24 and has committed 5 turnovers. Nine Jazz players scored. – 9:36 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Playing at high altitude? Scoff. Jericho Sims lives at high altitude. – 9:35 PM
New York Knicks @nyknicks
OH MY JERICHO – 9:35 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
First quarter done: the Jazz lead the Knicks 27-23…. – 9:35 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Yeesh, Jericho Sims uses Walker Kessler as a dunk contest prop. – 9:35 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Terrific move by Collin Sexton getting downhill. He and THT putting a lot of rim pressure on the Knicks. Jazz on a 7-0 run – 9:34 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz
🚨 @Mike Conley wins the jump ball! 🚨

Simone Fontecchio for three – 9:32 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Simone Fontecchio minutes tonight! #TakeNote9:31 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Barrett back in the game with Obi — nine players in the game so far with no Grimes or Fournier. – 9:31 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Simone Fontecchio gets the Rudy Gay minutes tonight – 9:30 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
My thought in this first quarter is the Jazz can really use the two days off coming up. They need the rest and they need some time to clean up all of these turnovers – 9:30 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Simone Fontecchio getting the Rudy Gay minutes. – 9:30 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
That illegal screen by Walker Kessler is a great example of how guards get their big men fouls by going before the screen is set. THT created that foul by not waiting for Kessler to get there. Jazz lead 15-14 – 9:29 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Knicks so inaccurate with their passes… there are opportunities to be had but everything is so off target – 9:28 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Did Conley just win that tap? – 9:27 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Blocker Kessler just introduced himself to the Knicks – 9:23 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Between Cam Reddish, RJ Barrett and Julius Randle, the Knicks have the length, athleticism and switchability on the wings to be a ton better than they are defensively – 9:23 PM
Ryan McDonald @ryanwmcdonald
I feel like the Jazz’s offense is so predicated on them making the right split-second decisions a lot, and when they don’t, it can get ugly.
It’s pretty ugly right now – 9:21 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz
Indecisive Knicks foul up a 3-on-1 break, no doubt owing to the fearsome defensive reputation of Lauri Markkanen. It’ll be Jazz ball when the game resumes. They trail 9-8 at the 6:51 mark 1Q. Utah’s shooting 3-8 overall, 1-5 from deep. Olynyk has 6p. – 9:19 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:51 remaining in the first quarter. First timeout. The Jazz trail the Knicks 9-8 – 9:19 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Much better by Olynyk that time, and obviously results in a three point play – 9:17 PM

Kelly Olynyk stalled that possession by NOT shooting the ball
It’s great to be unselfish, but when the best look of the possession presents itself, you gotta let that thing fly – 9:16 PM

Something to keep an eye on: recently, Knicks have considered shortening their rotation. Club has mostly gone with a 10-man rotation to date. – 8:38 PM

Nikola Jokic joins Bones Hyland and assistant coach Ryan Saunders in health and safety protocols. Saunders didn’t travel with the team from Boston to Chicago to end Denver’s recent road trip. Jokic will likely miss at least the Nuggets’ next two games: vs. Knicks, at Mavs. – 7:44 PM

Nikola Jokić is OUT on Wednesday against the Knicks, joining Bones Hyland.
Aaron Gordon is also questionable with a non-covid illness, which can often turn into more than that.
Tough break. – 7:37 PM

Pretty fascinating how a lot of the opinions have swung towards Utah walking into Autzen and winning.
I’ll say this. The vibe here is that Utah believes it is playing for everything. Does Oregon feel the same, or is the Rose Bowl a consolation prize? – 6:00 PM
