Thunder Extend Win Streak to Four
Oklahoma City Thunder beat the New York Knicks 103-100 for their fourth straight win, powered by Chet Holmgren's 28 points. Holmgren's interior presence and defensive instincts were critical in the closing minutes as the Knicks mounted a late comeback attempt.
This victory extends Oklahoma City's dominance over the Knicks, marking their fifth consecutive win against them. The Thunder have not lost a game at Madison Square Garden since December 2017. This win also snapped the Knicks' three-game winning streak. The Thunder's current four-game winning streak also includes victories over the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, and Phoenix Suns. Their recent performance has been strong, winning nine of their last eleven games. This successful run has solidified their position at the top of the Western Conference standings. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 26 points in the game continued his remarkable scoring consistency. He is now just two games shy of tying Wilt Chamberlain's all-time NBA record of 126 consecutive games with 20 or more points. Chet Holmgren was a significant force in the win, tying his career-high with six 3-pointers. For the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns put up a strong fight with 17 points and 17 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson, despite a tough shooting night, contributed 16 points and a season-high 15 assists.
