The New York Knicks provided the Utah Jazz with a rude welcoming for their only visit to Madison Square Garden this season.

With questions about the future for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Chris Paul circulating around the NBA, the New York Knicks may have the opportunity to add a future Hall of Famer as they pursue a title.

While Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 33 points and OG Anunoby returned from injury, it was Miles McBride who shined in the Knicks' dominant 34-point victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night.

The New York Knicks are 0-2 so far this season against the Orlando Magic.

In a coaches meeting a few weeks back, the Knicks’ head coach was deep in conversations with his staff about a potential change to the starting lineup. Injuries to key players forced Brown to re-shuffle the deck. The discussion at hand was about starting, or not starting, Josh Hart.

Knicks head coach Mike Brown credits his coaching staff for sparking the decision to insert Josh Hart into the starting lineup in place of Mitchell Robinson.

The Utah Jazz and New York Knicks meet Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

New York started the game off on a shocking 23-0 run on the Jazz in the first quarter that left Utah scoreless until the five-minute mark, which piled together for a brutal 13-41 hole at the end of the period that they couldn't manage to climb out of, even winning two of the three quarters for the rest of the way.
