(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) Hart finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists to become the first Knicks player since Michael Ray Richardson in 1981 with consecutive triple-doubles. Hart has four this season and became the fourth player to have 10 triple-doubles with the Knicks. Mikal Bridges scored 27 points and OG Anunoby had 22 for the Knicks. Brunson missed the game with right calf tightness and was replaced by Cam Payne, who finished with eight points and nine assists.The guards tried to keep Utah in it, but it was far too tough a task with Lauri Markkanen shooting just 6 for 22 en route to his 16 points. A team that added Towns and Bridges in part so it wouldn’t be so reliant on Brunson had no trouble without him, shooting 55% from the field. Meanwhile in Denver, Nikola Jokic had 23 points, 17 rebounds and 15 assists in leading the Nuggets to a 139-120 win over Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. Jokic nearly notched a triple-double in the first half, finishing an assist shy. He secured his 144th career triple-double early in the third quarter. Jamal Murray scored 21 points, while Russell Westbrook added 16 to go with 11 assists as the Nuggets won their third straight game
