OKC Thunder vs New York Knicks | Game Highlights | December 27, 2023

Getting right across the Baseline set it up for dor and it’s jayd from the outside picking up where he left off last night another three you see the battle there for the rebound between H Stein and Hogen Shay surveys J right through a couple of defensive players and he fcks it up and in how about this just save that ball to the right guy underneath the basket doesn’t always happen that way in result right through they know what that guy can do he’s going downhill with the basketball J

Once again this time stops on the dive pulls up and connects yet again he’s one of those guys that’s his game can also shoot the [Applause] Three not be deceived by the size he can get anywhere that he wants on the floor sh first shot of the game but he works his way inside so tough to slow down and he turn it over again how about here just turn on the Jets then pull

Back a little bit nice terrific finish hren driving fading tough shot got it up over hartenstein trying to check up on SGA open shooter it’s Dort and he’s been hot from the outside and he continues to be hot as new Dort now got 113 over the last three plus games each other out

Right now the Thunder a plus five on the scoreboards like whever Tom Tio goes there as to Gibson couldn’t grab that offensive rebound it’s two on2 SGA sides to pull it back out Carriage Williams Trail three he’s been knocking down the threes and that one rattles home Shay trying to pierce that Nick’s

Defense got it right back from KAS Wallace now it’s Wiggins just into the game and a in Wiggins Wiggins passed up the three instead it’s Shay nice no look pass inside gave it right back to him boy a late Christmas gift just so fun to watch this thunder

Offense and the unselfishness and guys making the right play Shay willing to make that extra pass as Randle with the help defense had it Stripped Away over to Joe he’ll step into it from Deep the three on the way and he drops it in once again the Thunder PL great

Defense how about that just swarming Randle He he’s that kind of guy likes to pound the basketball and feel you out oh while that’s happening R trying to use his size and Aaron Wiggins forc of the turnover here is Kenrick Williams gives it up right the

Last second there is p Wallace to put it In down brickley’s got to fire it into the back court and it looked like Cas Wallace read the pass trying to bleed out this clock matched up on Grimes went left now to Bon open three and there’s another one the 63 already the first quarter this is

Going to free throw nine and 10 but I’m loving the set up a lot of times you want to run that clock all the way down and he come off the bench for Mark dagn was very complimentary of him particularly in that Houston game was

Nice mode there to get that one up in trying to keep quickley out of the lane but that was a quick spin move quickly left it a little bit short and Home Green somehow scooped it up and in WoW I know that’s a little strange but look at this here he took a

Lot of contact bodied him the whole way wow great concentration not just the the contact but JB didn’t get the goal 10 call but he got the two free throws and now he’s got the steal took it right out of the possession of quickley now he goes right

To the cup and scores and he thought he got fouled again but J drives Baseline open man it’s Jay will missed it wide left no good looked like h had the rebound he’ll put it up and somehow through the contact but Chad hren eight points on four out of seven shooting

Well one of those guys is out for a game or two and Julius Randle and jayen Brunson Boy Tough shot there from Jay dub tough for just about everybody Shay this time with Brunson battling outside Isaiah Joe with time for the three he’s not going to miss that one Isaiah Joe three number

Two in the Gams SGA is a magnet with the ball in his hand and you love that too because look at all the white shirts that he you know that were around to allow that guy to get time to get that shot Off Shay wants to step back three that one’s going to rattle in but on the last it was the SGA three so SGA into double digits with 12 that’s six quick points thanks to the two threes and now Shay steps in took it away from Randall one-on-one with Brunson Brunson with the

Strip out of bounds sees three defensive players right up on him divon chenzo looking for another three can’t connect Randall and the punch away there from Josh gy force in the turnover we talked about mid-range Shooters last night he’s a great mid-range shooter with SGA that one pops

Up in there right off the front of the rim SGA is going to get a chance for an oldfashioned three-point play and guess what folks he’s not afraid to work for it either got him up in the air [Applause] you know this this is a professional

Score look you come down in this Landing space alren likes that spin move and he’s still got it up over hartstein who’s not a great shot blocker thought this move watch this here folks a lot of things going on here a little Spin and traffic four white shirts all around

Them he is a Dominion player of was closed big number and chadin Williams recovering on the backside to swap out one out of bounds you start getting into 80s basketball Kareem Abdul Jabar Dr J you just don’t see a lot boy Jay do you see Shay deciding what he wants to do

Spinning on Randall got inside and then he Scopes it up and in off the glass what a move up Julius Randle just making it do what it do baby dancing with the basketball no help coming over man look at that spin Shay spinning in the lane contact got it up

To the rim hit the deck no call M flection there right into the arms of Wiggins Wiggins up ahead to SGA that might be the easiest layup he’s going to have all season long under a minute to go the drive Isaiah Joe on the reverse nicely done quarter still going to the fourth

Quarter four-point lead ran trying to deflate that clock as much as possible it’s a running start on Dort Dort with those four fouls and Chad hren just wiped them away it’s a two-on one keep the Knick off that three off that free throw line biggest urgency for the

Thunder and K Wallace got to the Baseline bring the Knicks within one now jayb that step back three even with Taj Gibson all over him 55 in how about this he knows this guy likes to drive but you got to for forget about this part he’s he’s also a pretty good three point [Applause] shooter contact there and it looks like ched hren went into the body of Tosh Gibson no whistle you always played it a whistle no whistle keep playing I can’t give him that title yet but man I tell you one thing he’s scratching at the door seeing more and more as he plays

More and more there’s the three from the outside wasting no time Catch Fire three for OKC just sort of battling through these different patches of the game as you see homr three grows down slow offense in the third quarter the Knicks getting to the free throw line how about

JB slicing and dicing his way through the Knicks defense that’s an n one as he is playing with force and his finishes through contact it’s just you know just tough gritty hard noosed finish trying to start the break quickly got caught in the air hartenstein with authority but

Chad hren says not on his watch Ste tied up inside in the ball game how about this man that’s a block at the rim and that ball got popped way up in the air hardenstein tried to dunk it and Shay no excuse me not Shay but Chad said

Access deny coming up with that Loose Change you can up and ched hren on the backside came over for yet another block just incredible defense on the other end Jaylen Williams buries the three look at this I mean that is just terrific timing by Chad hren and then

The ball goes the other way you stay engaged you spread the floor and you get a transition three from the hottest man on the floor Shay’s been doing work on Josh Hart throughout the course of the game they leave jayen Williams open yet again let’s add to that career high and make

It 35 17 of those coming in the fourth quarter now you got to play defense hardenstein off the L and once again it’s Chad hren they are loving this team right now he blocked an alleyoop you can’t do that that’s not possible come on man how did he get to

That shot in time Shay on the step back Nails another three and Shay said thank you very much for doing that Chad on the other end is going to get that three but it’s not going to matter but after the the Knicks tied it at 81 it was all OKC and fitting that

Jaylen Williams is going to be able to dribble out this clock and that’s how the Thunder close out this five-game home stand over the Christmas holiday a back-to-back sweep against two very good teams it was Minnesota last night and it’s the New York Knicks who came in after beating

The Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day and this Thunder team got it done on both ends of the floor for the second consecutive night some big time blocks from Chad holr three blocks in the fourth quarter and a career offensive night from Jaylen Williams in his 36

Points and it was fun to watch in the fourth quarter and he is standing by with our very own Nick Gallow thanks Chris Jaylen the Knicks Tred to keep this close how good did that trail three feel when he knocked it down there to go up 10 uh [Applause] Probably about as refreshing as that bath there by Chad hren I suppose bra’s redone so tough um the trail three uh big shot me and Shake kind to made eye contact as he was pushing I think we had like a 514 just trailing being shot

Ready uh wi in so much in that second half they tried to to switch and Chad just played off the switches tried to attack them what was key to not getting bogged down uh Chad is very talented so it makes it easy for me to kind of read

Off him and and play that way uh other guys were in the game as well that were that were contributing uh making big reads Big Shots um but yeah me and him kind of trying to figure out chemistry and uh he’s doing a good job of figuring

Me out and I’m figuring him out as well career night for you second night of a back toback what did it take to just create your own energy tonight uh back to backs are extremely important just uh obviously you know like the energy can be low and tired um thankfully you know

We had a home stand on the back to back which makes it a little easier but honestly that first 5 minutes of the game uh playing hard I think is what kind of propelled us for the rest of the game yeah and this home stand that you mentioned 4- one here around the

Holidays how special was this for this group uh it was a big uh big home stand you know um you got to protect home court and I think we’ve done a good job of that and obviously January is a lot of Road game so if we can stack up at

Home that’ll be good all right thanks jdub stay hot yeah appreciate it jdub 36 points a career night for him boy it was fun to watch in the fourth quarter 17 of those in the fourth and final frame just when the Thunder needed it to saave off any hope of a New York
