Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart propel Jalen Brunson-less Knicks past Jazz for ninth straight win

Being down their top two point guards was not enough to deter the Knicks against the hapless Jazz.

All-Star Jalen Brunson and sixth man Miles McBride were out of the lineup with injuries, but the Knicks still cruised to their ninth consecutive win, picking up in 2025 where they left off in December with a 119-103 victory at the Garden.

Veteran reserve Cam Payne made his first start of the season for the Knicks with Brunson missing his first game due to right calf тιԍнтness. McBride also was a late scratch with a hamstring issue suffered in pregame warmups.

Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored 31 points and grabbed 21 rebounds, goes up for a layup during the Knicks' 119-103 win over the Jazz on Jan. 1, 2025.

Josh Hart recorded his second consecutive triple-double and fourth of the season with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 12 ᴀssists as the Knicks improved to 24-10 overall.

“We have great depth. We’ve got guys that can score the ball,” Hart said after the game. “It just shows the difference between last year and this year.
