Donte DiVincenzo’s finest Madison Square Garden showing to date allowed the New York Knicks to make relatively quick work of the Utah Jazz en route to their eighth straight victory.
The road warrior made himself at home on Tuesday night.
Donte DiVincenzo’s mastery of the three paved the way to the eight, namely the New York Knicks’ eighth straight victory. Despite missing both OG Anunoby and Julius Randle for the second straight game, the Knicks once again handled business at Madison Square Garden, this time muting the Utah Jazz with a 118-103 final.
New York finished January with a 14-2 record, reaching that win tally for the first time since March 1994.
DiVincenzo paced the Knicks with 33 points in the win. The former Golden State Warrior has mostly fulfilled every expectation placed upon him in his first season with the Knicks, but most of his finer hours have come on the road. Prior to Tuesday’s tilt, DiVincenzo had not scored 20 points in any of his first 21 showings at MSG.
That changed and then some as he put up one of the finest single-game outside shooting efforts in Knicks history: with a career-best in successful three-pointers, DiVincenzo became just the seventh New Yorker to hit at least nine in a single game, one short of the team record shared by Evan Fournier and JR Smith.
