January 2 - Josh Hart posted his second straight triple-double and Karl-Anthony Towns finished with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds for the third consecutive game
Wednesday night as the undermanned New York Knicks pulled away from the visiting Utah Jazz in a 119-103 victory.
The Knicks extended their winning streak to nine games despite the absence of star point guard Jalen Brunson (calf), who missed a game for the first time this season, and backup guard Miles McBride
who was slated to start for Brunson before he was scratched due to a tight left hamstring.
Hart didn't score until the final seconds of the first half yet still finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.
Towns had 31 points and 21 rebounds as he became just the third Knicks player in team history -- joining Hall of Famers Bob McAdoo and Patrick Ewing -- to record at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in three consecutive games.
Collin Sexton and reserve Jordan Clarkson scored 25 points apiece for the Jazz, who raced out to an 18-8 lead before taking their fifth straight loss.
