The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up a second consecutive win on Sunday when they dropped the New York Knicks 145-135 at Madison Square Garden. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 points, and Josh Giddey recorded a triple-double with 24 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds as OKC rallied from a 12-point first quarter deficit to take a lead that they never relinquished.
OKC continues the 4-game road trip tonight as they take on the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. The Celtics are riding a 6-game win streak, and they sit just half game behind the Milwaukee Bucks at 10-3. Jason Tatum is averaging 32.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and Jaylen Brown is averaging 25.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, so the Thunder will have their hands full trying to slow down the highest-scoring offense in the league.
