00:04when the Oklahoma City Thunder met New York Knicks
00:08this Saturday morning in the Philippines.
00:11Both teams have a long winning streak
00:14that's why this match is really high stakes.
00:16That's what my teammate Rafael Banerjel predicted.
00:24Beast of the East vs. Best of the West
00:28That's what happened when the New York Knicks
00:31and the Oklahoma City Thunder faced off
00:34in the ongoing 2024-2025 NBA regular season.
00:39Before this match, the Thunder had a 13-game winning streak
00:44while the New York Knicks had 9 straight wins.
00:48In the second quarter, the Knicks advanced
00:51and gained 15 points.
00:54But the Thunder didn't give up
00:56and made a comeback in the late game
00:58to break the 117-107 record.
01:02Shea Gilgis Alexander took the lead
01:05after losing 33 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds.
01:12We just give everything our all,
01:16have the right intentions, do it together
01:19and wherever that takes us, it takes us.
01:20Whatever bumps in the road we hit, we hit
01:22and we're gonna figure it out together.
01:23We're gonna continue to do the same thing
01:25that's gotten us over the humps we had in the past
01:27and hopefully we end up where we want.
01:29Thunder head coach Mark Dagnold
01:32chose Gilgis Alexander as his superstar guard.
01:36He believes that this is the key to winning the OKC.
01:41I mean, I thought Shea's trust of his teammates
01:44down the stretch was really, really good.
01:45You know, that play, he hit the pocket a couple times
01:48against the double teams
01:49and those guys made great decisions.
01:51Ended in a three, ended in a foul.
01:53After an impressive win against the Knicks,
01:55the winning streak of the OKC
01:57went to the 14th Street Games.
