SALT LAKE CITY — It wasn’t a fair fight.
The Knicks were missing their two top scorers, forwards in Julius Randle (personal) and Marcus Morris (neck), and were on the second leg of a back-to-back to conclude a four-game Western Conference swing.
The Jazz were riding a six-game winning streak and playing on their home floor at Vivint Smart Home Arena, known for its altitude.
The disaster unfolded as predicted with the Jazz racking up 72 first-half points and even ex-Knick Emmanuel Mudiay inflicting some revenge with 20 points in a 128-104 whitewashing.
