Seventh success in the last nine for OKC, who don’t stop their run even in back-to-backs. Always behind the wheel is a wild Gilgeous-Alexander, with 36 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, also author of a couple of decisive triples in the fourth quarter, but the whole team is doing great (over 54 shooting %, almost 44% from three). In New York, three players above twenty points are not enough (Randle 25, Brunson 24, Quickley 22 from the bench).
If Gilgeous-Alexander’s 36 are almost no longer newsworthy, the same type of production from Jalen Williams is less usual, as he scores 17 of his 36 points in the last quarter with an almost perfect 6/7 shooting. He signed it in the decisive 10-2 run that closed the score after the Knicks had come back down to -5. Williams finished with immaculate percentages from beyond the arc (5/5) and missed 4 shots throughout his extraordinary game (13/17 from the field).
