It’s Friday, January 10, and the Oklahoma City Thunder (30-6) and the New York Knicks (25-13) are all set to square off from Madison Square Garden in New York.
These teams just played last Friday in OKC with the Thunder winning 1117-107. The Knicks got virtually no help from their bench with just 5 of their 107 points coming from non-starters. To be fair, every starter for New York played at least 40 minutes. The bench accounted for only 30 total minutes. For reference’s sake, OKC’s bench accounted for 70 minutes and 44 points.
Player notes from Game 1: Karl-Anthony Towns grabbed 22 rebounds in that game. Jalen Brunson handed out 9 assists. Isaiah Hartenstein pulled down 14 boards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the game’s leading scorer with 33 points.
The Thunder are currently 13-4 on the road with a point differential of +8.5, while the Knicks have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home.
