JAZZ 102, KNICKS 100
NEW YORK (AP) _ Trey Burke made a jumper from the corner as time expired to help Utah overcome a 46-point effort from New York’s Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony’s 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left tied it at 100 and lifted the Knicks to the century mark for the first time this season. But Burke caught the ball near the Jazz bench, faded back and nailed the jumper before stepping back over the sideline into hugs from his teammates.
The Knicks lost their seventh straight game.
Gordon Hayward scored a season-high 33 points for the Jazz, and Derrick Favours added 21 points and 12 rebounds.
