The Knicks are off to a perfect start
A score of 23-0 in the match is already huge. But doing it to start the game is even stronger. As if the first punch of a boxing match was a powerful uppercut. The Knicks achieved this performance against the Jazz.
After six minutes and thirty seconds of the game, a few moments with the first basket of Utah’s Keyonte George, New York football players really led with 23-0! No team has ever done it, at least since 1997, and the record for the start of the game still belongs to the Lakers, 29-0 in February 1987.

Buoyed by this 23-0 run that ended the game, and never worried, the Knicks won the first quarter 41-13. After a less successful second act, they will speed up again in the third quarter (47-30), with the great Jalen Branson, to win quite easily, with 34 points and 146 points scored.
“We weren’t the best at the end of the second quarter, but we responded well in the third. I’m satisfied with our response.”confirms the playmaker, the author of 20 points in this period. “We gave up at the end of the first half and I pushed the players at the beginning of the second half. The boys responded »the Knicks coach insists. “Hats off to the group, everyone.
