The Knicks netted the first 23 points of the game and led by 28 through one quarter before cruising to a thorough annihilation of the Jazz.

The Knicks rode a 23-0 run to open Friday's game as they blow out the Jazz 146-112 with six New York players finishing with double-digit points.

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.

The Knicks had maintained the same winning percentage without OG Anunoby as they had posted with him this season, but they gladly welcomed back their top defensive wing for Friday night’s game.

Along with Nurkic back in the rotation, the Jazz will also have veteran big man Kevin Love back in the fold to fill his role in the rotation as Utah's backup center, who wound up missing against Brooklyn due to rest— making for a much better outlook in their center rotation compared to what Utah had suffered from just a night prior.

The Knicks are seemingly close to getting OG Anunoby back. According to SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley, Anunoby (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz at MSG. Begley noted on Thursday's episode of The Putback that this weekend's games are a target for the Knicks to get Anunoby back on the court.

The New York Knicks are off to Boston for a longtime Eastern Conference rivalry matchup with the Celtics Tuesday night at TD Garden.

The Charlotte Hornets have the chance to put a disappointing loss in Brooklyn behind them with a matchup against the New York Knicks on deck. A quick trip on the C train will deliver the Hornets to MSG from Brooklyn, and they'll arrive at the station with revenge on the brain.
