The Knicks seek to fix ball-handling issues against the Jazz in Salt Lake City after costly turnovers in L.A.

The New York Knicks, coming off two losses in Los Angeles where they committed 39 turnovers and allowed 43 points off mistakes, aim to improve ball security when facing the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Despite a strong start to the season, including a 146-112 win over Utah in December, the Knicks have struggled with unforced errors, particularly from Jalen Brunson, who had 10 turnovers in the two games. Coach Mike Brown stressed the need for better control, especially on the road. Meanwhile, the Jazz, who are 12-31 since their loss to New York, earned a 119-116 win over the Warriors, led by Brice Sensabaugh’s 21 points and Kyle Filipowski’s 19 points and 15 rebounds, with strong bench contributions and cohesion despite missing rookie Ace Bailey due to illness.
