LOS ANGELES — There have been few highlights on the Knicks current two-week, six-game road trip, but the most precious one came with French subtitles.

Lost in the Jazz’s dominant win Saturday was Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina driving to the basket in the first half and dunking on a pursuing Rudy Gobert, who also is from France. Gobert, who otherwise was spectacular, had something to say to Ntilikina in their native tongue.

“It was pretty funny because I ate at his house the day before,’’ Ntilikina said after Thursday’s practice at UCLA.
