The New York Knicks suffered a 126-101 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking their fourth loss in five games following a nine-game winning streak.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered an MVP-caliber performance for the Thunder, scoring 39 points and leading a stifling defensive effort.
The Knicks shot just 38.5% from the field, including a season-low four three-pointers, as Oklahoma City showcased its league-best defensive rating.
