 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Jamal Crawford scored 20 points and the New York Knicks held Utah scoreless for almost 9 1/2 minutes in the third quarter while pulling ahead for their second straight win, 73-62 over the Jazz on Monday night.
The Knicks set a team record for fewest points allowed and won for only the second time under new coach Larry Brown. Although New York played the night before in a 105-95 win at Sacramento, it was the Jazz who looked weary while shooting 27-for-75 — the worst percentage in team history (29.3).
Injuries hurt Utah, which had only 11 healthy players. Rookie Deron Williams led the Jazz with 18 points and five assists.
