Final Score: Knicks: 90 Jazz: 83
It was a tough trip for the Knicks, who lost the first four games by an average of 20 points and numerous players, but they were able to pull together and get a victory in Utah to end the road trip. It was a much needed victory for the Knicks who will head back to New York with some good feelings after avoiding getting swept on the trip. The Knicks were able to maintain a one game lead over the Nets even without Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amar’e Stoudemire.

Felton looks to be getting back into playing shape after suff...
