Knicks' Shooting Struggles Lead to Defensive Decline in Blowout Loss

New York's offensive woes and lack of defensive cohesion culminate in a 126-101 defeat to the Thunder, marking their fourth loss in five games.

The Knicks managed just four three-pointers and shot 38.5% from the field in their loss to Oklahoma City, reflecting ongoing offensive struggles.
Mikal Bridges was held scoreless for the first time in nearly four years, missing all nine of his shot attempts, including seven from beyond the arc.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dominated the game with 39 points, exposing defensive lapses as the Knicks allowed 126 or more points for the sixth time this season.
Jalen Brunson and other team leaders acknowledged the need for better discipline and effort, with frustration growing over recent performances.
The Knicks, now 25-14, face mounting pressure to regroup ahead of their next game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
