Game Preview
The NBA has scheduled a six-game slate that includes the New York Knicks versus OKC Thunder contest for December 27th. Both teams will play each other this season for the second time. The Thunder are now trying to tie the score after the Knicks emerged victorious in their first meeting, which they did on their travels.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been playing fantastically; they have captured 8 of their previous 11 contests overall. They will be keen to continue their winning ways after defeating the undermanned Timberwolves 129-106 last night. Leading the squad with 34 points as well as 9 assists from 14 of 19 shooting, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was followed in scoring order by Jalen Williams with 21, Chet Holmgren, and Lugentz Dort with 20 points apiece. The Thunder set the mood quickly with 40 points in the opening period to grab the lead, then controlled the fourth quarter by scoring 27 points to 15 to make it a statement victory at home. As a team, they shot a scorching 60% from the floor and 18 of 39 from the 3-point line.
The New York Knicks, who have won 3 of their previous 4 matches, have been playing well. They defeated the hot Bucks 129-122 on Christmas Day, so they should feel fairly good about themselves. Leading the team in scoring with 38 points and 6 assists from 15 of 28 shooting, Jalen Brunson was followed in scoring by Julius Randle with 24 points alongside 9 rebounds, RJ Barrett with 21 points, and Immanuel Quickley with 20 points from the bench. The Knicks shot only 8 of 26 from the three-point range and 54% from the floor as a team, but they scored 67 points during the second half to stave off a late rally after leading by 36 points in the opening quarter.
