Knicks’ four-game winning streak ends with disappointing clunker against Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY — The Knicks could not fully salvage a two-way clunker Saturday night, and their longest winning streak of the season is history.

The Knicks used a 17-0 run to erase all but two of a 19-point hole in the third quarter, but their shooters went cold down the stretch and their four-game surge was halted with a 121-106 loss to the Jazz at Delta Center.

“We were flat,” Tom Thibodeau said after the game. “There’s going to be nights that you don’t shoot it great. … What you can’t do, you can’t allow missed sH๏τs to take away from the energy that you need from your defense. You have to win games in different ways.

“So the nights in which you’re not shooting well, you want your defense, your rebounding and your low turnovers to carry you. … No one shoots the ball great for 82 games. If you’re not shooting well, just do other things that can help us win.”

The Knicks connected on just 39 percent from the floor, led by quiet nights from imported starters Karl-Anthony Towns (16 points) and Mikal Bridges (seven).
