Mon Jan 06 00:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Jazz Struggle in New York, Sexton Shines in Loss to Knicks
**NEW YORK, NY** – The Utah Jazz started 2025 with a loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on January 1st, falling 56-46 at halftime. Despite a strong performance from guard Collin Sexton, who led the team with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting (including 3-of-3 from three-point range), the Jazz’s 7-24 record couldn’t overcome the Knicks’ eight-game winning streak.
Sexton’s impressive first half, which included seven points in the opening quarter, couldn’t prevent the Jazz from extending their losing streak to four games. The Knicks, boasting a 23-10 record and the third-best record in the Eastern Conference, dominated the game. Their high-powered offense, ranked second in the NBA, proved too much for the Jazz, who currently hold the second-worst record in the Western Conference.
The game was broadcast on KJZZ, streamed on Jazz+, and aired on 97.5 The KSL Sports Zone. While the Jazz’s recent blowout victory over the Miami Heat (136-100) offered a glimpse of their potential, their performance against the Knicks highlighted the challenges facing the team early in the season.
