I deleted a previous tweet with a quote from Julius Randle about the computer slapping video. I heard “It’s fun” as part of the quote, but I listened back a couple times and he actually said “It’s fine.” Posting the full, correct quote below. – 1:03 AM

Mike Conley, asked about the pressures of the trade deadline, revealed that the Grizzlies told him at the deadline of his final season in Memphis that they were dealing him, and to be prepared for it. Wasn’t sure where he was going, but thought Utah was at the front of the list. – 12:25 AM
David Locke @DLocke09
Alec Burks dunked to make it Jazz 98-97 with 4:59 left. The Knicks didn’t score again until an RJ Barrett free throw with 1:03 left. The Jazz led 105-97 by then
Knicks missed 8 straight shots and had one turnover.
Udoka Azubuike was in as the center for the whole stretch. – 12:24 AM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Mike Conley said when he was in Memphis he was told at the trade deadline he was getting traded and then didn’t.
Said he didn’t know which team it was going to be, only that Memphis told him he wouldn’t finish the year there.
An interesting wrinkle to the Jazz trade. – 12:22 AM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Mike Conley, on Dok: “The game’s fast for him, but he’s learning. … He’s guarding, he’s being physical, his presence has really picked us up when he’s out there.” – 12:19 AM

Randle said the computer altercation with assistant Scott King happens lots during games. Said he slapped King’s computer tonight as a joke. – 12:17 AM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Donovan Mitchell mentioned the Jazz crowd noise as a big difference maker in the fourth quarter.
My take, the Jazz should lower the threshold for free chicken to up crowd engagement, and thus up their odds of winning.
This is just simple economics. – 12:17 AM

Knicks should give Miles McBride a chance at PG. He’s averaging 30 & 10 in the G League but doesn’t play for NYK. In loss tonight: RJ Barrett had 23 points on 25 shots, Julius Randle was good early but can’t run offense late. The need for playmaking is obvious.

Quin said that despite 32p from Donovan, his 3 biggest plays were that O-reb/feed to Dok, a defensive play where he blew up a handoff, and a key D-reb down the stretch. – 11:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
I’m not sure you can count on Dok to play primary backup minutes in the games that are ahead. But the fact that Dok is even making it a legit thought is really a compliment to his last ten days – 11:48 PM

Monster night for Mitch Robinson in the loss to Utah:

Not bad for someone who didn’t have a single play run for him the entire game – 11:38 PM

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz win 113-104.
Weird game: for about 10 minutes, Jazz couldn’t buy a bucket. For nearly the whole contest, they couldn’t buy a defensive rebound.
But in the 4Q, the defense locked down, and Donovan Mitchell created great offense.
Warriors next, on Wednesday, at Vivint. – 11:35 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz defeat New York 113-104…..Utah moves to 33-21 on the season. The Jazz turn in a terrific fourth quarter defensively. Mitchell with 32 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. On to Wednesday night and the Golden State Warriors – 11:35 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Jazz 113, Knicks 104. Utah with a 31-18 4Q that saves them from another disastrous loss. Donovan with 32p/7r/6a. Bogey 20p/4r. Mike 18p/7a. JC 16p on 6-12 FGs. Three straight wins, now 33-21 on the season. – 11:34 PM

Dok was awful in the first half and an absolute monster in the second half. What a performance after halftime – 11:25 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
The Knicks’ halfcourt offense in the fourth quarter has been an extremely tough watch. Knicks have only 11 points in the fourth quarter. Really struggling to get middle. A lot of stagnation with Randle in the post. Missed FTs. Just a lot of struggles all around. – 11:25 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
The Knicks playing through Randle in crunch time like he’s peak Barkley is a trip. They’ve paid the guy so now that have to iso him every trip? Total garbage. Knicks are toast. – 11:24 PM

Great push by Mitchell in transition. Realized the Knicks were tired, pushed it up their backs and drew a foul – 11:21 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
epitome of the Knicks season right there:
1) Thibs cant even get the refs attention to call timeout
2) Elects to have team play out possession
3) Randle misses wide open layup with right hand
4) Mitch Rob gets rebound, fouled
5) Misses both free throws – 11:21 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz are making big plays on both ends of the floor. Two threes from Royce O’Neale and Utah leads 98-92…5:52 remaining – 11:13 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
A Royce O’Neale personal 6-0 run gives the Jazz a 6-point lead. Knicks all out of sorts with their rotations. But there’s also no doubt this is better from Utah. – 11:13 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Royce is feeling it right now. After an 0-4 start to the game, he’s buried B2B 3s off of assists from Donovan, and let out an exuberant yell after that last bucket expanded the Jazz lead to 98-92 with 5:52 to go. – 11:13 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
The Jazz are on a 98-92 run since the beginning of the game. – 11:13 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Utah’s cut the Knicks’ lead to one.
Mitchell Robinson would set a new season high in minutes if he came into the game now and played the rest of the way. I don’t know if he can go for 10 straight mins. But the Knicks need him right now. – 11:02 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah
You know that cliche, “basketball is a game of runs”? Well, in years past the Jazz have seemed a little more steady than that, but that cliche really does fit them this season, sometimes in the best of ways and sometimes in the worst – 11:01 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
OMG … some actual, legitimate ball movement results in a wide-open Mike Conley 3! Jazz are on a 15-4 run, and now trail only 86-85. Utah is all the way up to 14 assists. Now then … do defensive rebounding next! – 11:01 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Jazz down 86-85 with 10:15 remaining……Utah shooting 9-39 from 3…..whoo boy – 11:00 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
First Jazz-esque offensive possession in *a while*… a classic drive-kick-swing to the best 3P% shooter on the team. Jazz now down just 1. – 11:00 PM

Been a really rough month for Immanuel Quickley. Shooting 29 percent from the field over his last 12 games and just 2-for-8 today. – 11:00 PM

Through three quarters, the Knicks lead the Jazz 86-82.
• Randle 28-4-2
• Robinson 17 & 18, 3 blks
• Barrett 18-6-6
• Mitchell 25 & 5
• Bogdanovic 14 pts
Knicks only 5-25 from deep, but Jazz only 8-36. – 10:55 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Julius Randle was just totally the voice of reason as the quarter ended, trying to keep Nerlens Noel away from the official and then guiding multiple Knicks back to the bench. – 10:55 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 3Q: Knicks 86, Jazz 82. Despite some truly awful basketball, including zero passing, horrible shot selection, and olé defense, Utah is still in this thing. Randle has 28p, Robinson 17p/18r for Knicks. Don has 25p for Utah, which is 8-36 from 3. – 10:55 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz go on a run to get the game back within 4, 86-82. Some questionable Knicks plays, and good hustle from this crew to add some energy to what had been extremely dull. – 10:54 PM

HALFTIME: Jazz 59, Knicks 57. Pretty epic 1H for Donovan Mitchell, who abused Alec Burks for 21p on 8-14 shooting. Bogey and Conley also with 11p for Utah, which went just 5-21 from 3. Randle has 13p to lead New York, Barrett with 12, Robinson with 12/12r. Knicks 3-18 from 3. – 10:08 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 59-57 at the half. Basically another individually-oriented O game for Utah (only 9 ast), but Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic have been very efficient. Defensively… well, it’s convenient Knicks have made only 3-18 from deep. May need to play better in 2H to win this one. – 10:08 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Jazz lead the Knicks 59-57.
• Robinson 12 & 12

The Knicks are trying to hide Fournier on Bogdanovic and that’s just not going to work. Bojan is too big and skilled in the paint for that – 9:54 PM

Alec Burks is scoreless (0-of-4 from the from the floor) and is getting absolutely cooked on the defensive end by Donny Mitchell – but other than than that, a pretty solid first half from Burks – 9:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
8-0 run from the Jazz. They lead the Knicks 41-39….Utah locking up a lot better than the first six minutes. Part of that is no RJ Barrett, who was destructive off the dribble in the first quarter. Mitchell has 13. The Jazz have to figure Robinson out. He has 10 and 9 rebounds – 9:49 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
8-0 Jazz run puts them ahead 41-39 in what’s been a very back-and-forth game so far. Donovan is up to 13p on 5-9 shooting. 6:41 left til halftime. – 9:49 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Reddish, on both ends of the floor, showing flashes of the enticing upside that makes scouts drool (and frustrates coaches)…
He’s such much more impactful when he attacks the basket – 9:48 PM

Amazing perspective from Joe Ingles on the Jazz broadcast: “I hope it’s not the end. I have had an amazing eight years here so far. If I can be a part of the piece that gets someone here to help these guys it would be honor in a different sense.” – 9:36 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Jazz 28, Knicks 28. New York had a 12-0 run to surge ahead, Utah closes the period on a 13-1 run to tie things up. Don and Bogey 7p apiece. Robinson with 10 and Barrett 8 to lead the Knicks. – 9:35 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Knicks and Jazz are tied at 28.
• Robinson 10 & 7
• Barrett 8 pts, 2 asts
• Randle 5 pts, 2 asts
• Bogdanovic, Mitchell 7 pts each – 9:35 PM

Cam Reddish just airballed a 3, and the look of disbelief on @Tony Jones‘s face was priceless. – 9:31 PM

With New York playing Cam Reddish tonight, they have doubled the amount of Knicks players on the court wearing a headband. – 9:30 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
I believe this is the first in game fan contest that has been held on the floor for the Jazz as opposed to the quasi studio they set up on the concourse.
Good sign some things are improving on the access front.

Kind of a miracle the Jazz are only down 25-18 at this point. 2:36 remaining in the first quarter. But there’s just a whole lot to clean up for Utah on both ends. This has not been a sharp 10 minutes – 9:27 PM

Not a ton of defense from the Jazz early, as they’re yielding a lot of open looks (New York is 7-13 so far). Fortunately for them, the Knicks seem pretty obsessed with taking long 2s, so it’s not as bad as it could be. 15-9 NYK, with 6:56 left 1Q. – 9:19 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
My goodness… Mitchell Robinson continues to dominate the paint.
He’s got 8 points and four OFFENSIVE rebounds in the first five minutes of the game. – 9:18 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:56 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz trail the Knicks 15-9….Mitchell Robinson dominating so far. Also, the Jazz have not been good in the drop. Knicks size making an impact – 9:18 PM

Mitchell Robinson has four offensive rebounds in not even five minutes. – 9:16 PM
