07:44He's been in the NBA for a while
07:45this year number one in
07:46offensive fouls but he has been
07:47staying out of foul trouble
07:48recently SGA will shoot seventeen
07:53point seven assists by the way
07:59that 20 points in consecutive
08:02games it's also he has the NBA
08:05record for most on the road as
08:11Семь as you see there right now.
08:14Two points away from 124 overall.
08:19Greatness about that is when you
08:21talk about players on this level
08:22and separation between floor and
08:26ceiling it's not very great to
08:28shake.
08:28You'll just out exactly.
08:29It's a lot closer to that ceiling
08:30most nights.
08:31But to think in all that time.
08:33You know he didn't have one of
08:34those nights where he went three
08:35for 18 and even at a night maybe
08:37he didn't shoot well but they got
08:38up 30 on somebody and he didn't
08:40play the fourth quarter like to
08:42get to that number every night at
08:44minimum as you can see it hasn't
08:46been done since the 60s so
08:47obviously a streak this long.
08:49Well what you talk about the
08:50fourth quarter he's had over the
08:51last couple of years he has not
08:53in multiple games he has not played
08:55the fourth quarter.
08:57Gets second overall in the NBA and
08:59scoring by Dodgers.
09:02Thunder up 12.
09:04We've played five minutes here in
09:05the third Bridges trying to find
09:06the spot and gets an off soft
09:09bounce Bridges with nine points
09:18and gets a chance to get it to go.
09:23Towns quick outlet to Alvarado.
09:26Thunder an excellent defensive
09:28transition team.
09:29It's amazing how they commit five
09:31guys in a dead sprint.
09:33And an OB rattles in and out.
09:35Towns the rebound the put back.
09:36Carl Anthony Towns now with a double
09:38double 13 points and 10 rebounds.
09:42The Thunder's lead cut to eight.

09:48Gildas Alexander.
09:50Ramsey's base floats at the corner
09:51to Dort.
09:52Chased off the three point mark.
09:54Trying to get it to Hartenstein.
09:57T-shirt.
09:58Four on the clock.
09:59Dort.
09:59Two point shot is good.
10:01Lou Dort, four of six from the field.
10:04He's got 13.
10:05And that's getting him out of his
10:06comfort zone.
10:06He does not take a lot of mid-range
10:08pull up jump shots.
10:10It's usually something at the rim in
10:11transition or more often than not
10:13spot on three.
10:14Got him.
10:15T-shirt.
10:16T-shirt.
10:16I thought he was fouled.
10:17Mike Brown thought he was fouled.

20:24The shot clock wound down but
20:26there's going to be probably
20:27three seconds.
20:30He did not stop the shot clock.
20:35For a costume in his ninth year.
20:38Letting him know two point five.
20:44Mike Brown in his first year as
20:48Nick head coach.
20:48Right now he's got his team playing
20:51superb defense.
20:52They were at one point the 18th
20:54rated defense.
20:55Very mediocre for early part of the
20:59season.
20:59Now they're the seventh rated defense.
21:01Brunson has to fire away.
21:02And hits the three.
21:03Jalen Brunson with the shot clock
21:05expiring.
21:06He's got eleven points in the third
21:08quarter.
21:13Kills us Alexander.
21:15And Huck Cordy with a silly foul.
21:18SGA will go to the line.
21:20They're in the penalty.
21:23What a difficult shot for Jalen Brunson.
21:27I mean this is a tough shot left
21:28handed player running toward the
21:30right sideline knowing that the
21:32defender is going to close on his
21:35shooting hand.
21:36He's able to get it up and over the
21:37top of case and Wallace.
21:40Wallace was right there on him.
21:49So SGA is going to the free throw
21:51line.
21:51The Knicks are trying to say that
21:52he shouldn't be the one but he
21:55appeared to be the one fouled.
21:56The officials discussing it.
22:00Nope.
22:01Apparently it is Jalen Williams.
22:04Ah.
22:05A little sneaky play there.
22:06I'll tell you one thing.
22:08If somebody ever tried to take
22:10away my two free throws it's
22:11going to be a fight right there
22:12at the foul line.
22:15What was your career free throw
22:18percentage?
22:18That 84 range.
22:19Not that I know.
22:21You see right here.
22:22There's the foul by Ananobi
22:24shoves Jalen Williams.
22:25So it wasn't up for it.
22:26He was Ananobi.
22:29All right.
22:30So your team on the floor the
22:33opponent gets a technical.
22:34Do you run to the line or do
22:35you have to acquiesce?
22:37Oh no I don't acquiesce.
22:38And in fact I would be over there
22:39trying to bait guys into getting
22:41a technical.
22:42Did you hear what that guy said
22:43about you?
22:44Like anything to get that whistle.
22:45Kidding me.
22:46Three points are hard to come by.
22:48It's like testing for me.
22:49So I'd take it any chance I could
22:50get it.
22:51Jalen Williams.
22:52And what they call Jay Will.
22:54Eight points.
22:54Five rebounds.
22:55Two assists.
22:56He had some game last night.
22:58Sixteen rebounds.
22:59Seventeen points.
23:00Six assists.
23:01What a pro.
23:03Runs and drives.
23:04Pulls up.
23:04Over Wallace.
23:05Shot one go.
23:06Well defended by Kayson Wallace.
23:08Man it's a great contest.
23:10To be able to contest it to that extent
23:11without fouling or hitting it on the arm.
23:14And Anobi with the steal on a bad pass from SGA.
23:18And the dunk.
23:21OG Ananobi sits in the NBA and steals.
23:24Jeremy Sohan by the way is in there for defense
23:26down the stretch here.
23:28Sohan is actually playing the five.
23:30Mike Brown was saying with no Mitchell Robinson
23:33with Towns is off the floor.
23:34He'll try different guys.
23:36SGA.
23:37And Anobi knocked it loose.
23:38Sohan comes up with it.
23:40And a hell ball.
23:43Once again the Knicks defense.
23:45Getting him back in the game.
23:46They trail by fifteen here on the second half.
23:48And we've raved about Oklahoma City's individual defenders.
23:51The Knicks have some out there as well.
23:53It's a great read by Ananobi.
23:55That ball's floated.
23:56You're not getting that over the top.
23:58The guy's six foot eight.
24:00With that kind of closing ability.
24:05Ananobi's had a couple of defensive gems
24:07last couple of weeks played.
24:09Great defense in that big victory against the Spurs on Sunday.
24:14Made all NBA deep with Toronto once.
24:17He's certainly a shot at that this year.
24:19And Sohan wins the tip.
24:21Sohan of course Knicks.
24:23Getting from San Antonio.
24:27Ball tied.
24:28Final minute third quarter.
24:30Brunson corner Ananobi.
24:32On the drive.
24:34Bridges finds a spot.
24:35Shoots over Holgren.
24:37Comes up short.
24:38McCain the rebound.
24:41About an eight second difference.
24:43Shot clock and game clock.
24:44Both teams in the penalty.
24:46SGA inside.
24:47Kicks it out.
24:48McCain.
24:48Corner three.
24:49Can't get it to fall.
24:50Ananobi the rebound.
24:51Shot clock turned off.
25:01No fouls to give.
25:02McCain bumps Brunson.
25:04Brunson floats into Bridges.
25:06Bridges.
25:06Corner three.
25:07Punch it out.
25:09And the Knicks take the lead.
25:14Third quarter comes to an end.
25:16Knicks had 40 points in the first half.
25:18They had 40 here in the third.
25:22And after trailing by 15 they'll head to the fourth with the advantage.
25:33It's time for tonight's Axis presented by Sam some galaxy.
25:36We're here with Carl Anthony Towns.
25:38Cat you guys were able to take the lead at the end of the third.
25:40What went into the success there in the third quarter.
25:42I thought we did a good job pushing pace and again Knicks basketball.
25:45I think we do a great job when we cause turnovers and translate that to our offense.
25:49So we did a great job of that in the third.
25:51You've had great anticipation on the boards on the offensive glass.
25:54What else has gone into your success there.
25:56Just you know just trying to execute our game plan and be in the positions I'm supposed to be in.
26:00And you know I just want to utilize my size and be able to get near the basket and get
26:04offensive rebounds.
26:05Give us some second chance points.
26:06Cat best of luck.
26:07Thank you.
26:08Mike.
26:09All right George.
26:10Well Knicks did four six turnovers in that third quarter.
26:14Isaiah Joe lines up the three.
26:16Josh Hart back in the game.
26:17Towns grabs another rebound.
26:24This is the starting five for the Knicks back in.
26:27Henrich Williams getting his first minutes for OKC.
26:31He's guarding Towns.
26:35Brunson guarded by Dorff.
26:36Shot clock at four.
26:37Towns looks up, sees the shot clock.
26:39He's going to have to get more health quickly.
26:40Goes inside.
26:41Lays it up.
26:42Shot no good.
26:42And it wouldn't have counted.
26:4424 second violation.
26:48Give him credit right there.
26:49He tried to make something out of that situation where you're just expecting he's going to shoot a lead back.
26:54Fall away three.
26:55He just ran out of time right before he released that basketball.
26:59But I like the extra dribble to get to the rim.
27:00See the Knicks perfect at home when they had the lead going into the fourth.
27:03Ananobi pokes it away.
27:04Holmgren gets it back.
27:05His jump shot is good.
27:07Well his jumper has been sharp tonight.
27:0924 points for Holmgren.
27:14That's the first points of hit for the second half.
27:16And 22 in the first half.
27:1814 in the first quarter.
27:21Ananobi.
27:23Back to Brunson.
27:24Williams guarding him.
27:26Brunson trying to find some room.
27:28And a whistle and a foul as Williams holds up his hands but picks up his first and free throws
27:35for Jalen Brunson.
27:36They put him in better positions in the second half to get to his spots.
27:39He's not out here at half court dealing with these very aggressive blitzes on the part of the Thunder.
27:45Brunson's been operating more in that 25 feet and in which means he's in the lane really quickly.
27:51And it unlocked his game.
27:52And then of course the threes followed from that.
27:57Brunson 13 points and 10 assists.
28:00First of two free throws.
28:01Big ball.
28:03Big ball.
28:04Big ball.
28:05I forgot the check that my daughter took her medicine.
28:08Simplified pharmacy benefits that put you in control of your health.
28:12All right.
28:13Here we go.
28:13It's why the NBA trusts its health to Evernorth Health Services.
28:19Appropriate timing on the commercial.
28:22Missed a couple of free throws tonight.
28:24Knocks down the second.
28:32Wiggins.
28:33Henrich Williams.
28:34Holdren.
28:35Isaiah Joe.
28:36Endured out there.
28:38Wiggins fires up his first shot.
28:40Comes up short.
28:40Don't try to save it.
28:42Hart comes up with a loose ball.
28:46Nice pass inside.
28:48Towns to layup.
28:49Daniel Brunson with a beautiful dish for his 11th assist and a four point lead for the Knicks.
28:54And that is what pace creates.
28:56It creates confusion.
28:58If you keep running you can run right into something.
29:01The early push by the Knicks created the opportunity for Carl Anthony Towns to have space back there on that
29:07cut.
29:08Isaiah Joe.
29:08Nice move to draw the foul.
29:10Well this is after they'd already pushed it up and had Oklahoma City really back on their heels trying to
29:16match up and find shooters.
29:18Carl Anthony Towns just saw a vacuum back there.
29:21If he just kept running he was going to have an opportunity to get rewarded.
29:26Shamit comes in and an OB sits down.
29:28Isaiah Joe had 19 points last night.
29:33He had had a terrific February shot 50% from three-point range.
29:37He's at 20 more eight times.
29:39At five steals recent game.
29:41He's one of those guys.
29:43You'd like to see him get a chance maybe on another team to start and play 30 30 minutes.
29:49Cause I think.
29:50There are a number of guys I think I'd put into that category for Oklahoma City as well.
29:54They make the most out of the minutes they get.
29:56It's the luxury of having depth.
29:57But guys have to make personal sacrifice.
29:59But.
30:00Shamit misses.
30:02Holmgren the rebound.
30:03You're right.
30:04They do have a couple of guys.
30:05But they're just.
30:08Comfortable in their roles.
30:13Brunson guarding Holmgren.
30:14Mark looking to help out.
30:16But he doesn't want to leave Wiggins alone.
30:19Holmgren able to take advantage.
30:2026 for Holmgren.
30:21You know you don't always need to double chat Holmgren in that situation on a post-up.
30:25He doesn't do a lot of that.
30:26But when he's already had a night like this.
30:29I think that would have been a good opportunity to run somebody at him.
30:32Brunson stepped back three-pointer way off.
30:34Williams defended it well.
30:46Liggins now running the point.
30:49Bridges.
30:50Went for the steal.
30:51Holmgren left open.
30:52Gets an open three.
30:54Can't get at the fall.
30:55Towns tips it up right to Kenridge Williams.
30:57But a loose ball foul.
30:59Is going to go against Karl-Anthony Towns.
31:02Dort took a shot.
31:06So three fouls on Towns.
31:09Second team foul on the Knicks.
31:11Alvarado comes in for Brunson.
31:15Trying to swat at the ball.
31:16Yeah the right arm right there.
31:19Catches Luke Dort across the bridge of the nose.
31:22As he's trying to tip that ball and keep it alive for himself.
31:33Wiggins.
31:34Close it in.
31:36And a foul on Towns.
31:40Three fouls on Towns.
31:43This is a version of Chet Holmgren that I know Mark Dagnall loves to see.
31:48Like he's so aggressive right now.
31:50And trying to spot mismatches.
31:52We know he's been hunting his perimeter shot all night.
31:54But he's trying to take smaller defenders right now into the lane.
31:56And do some damage down there.
31:58He does not do a lot of posting up.
32:01Harden is on him now.
32:04Mungren up top.
32:05And Rich Williams nails the three.
32:07How about him coming off the bench.
32:08Cole knocks down a big three.
32:10And the Thunder back up by three.
32:17Alvarado.
32:24Towns trying to get free.
32:26Wiggins doing a good job tonight.
32:27Rich is inside and foul.
32:29And his players go falling to the floor.
32:34A very physical game.
32:37Thunder very physical defensive team.
32:39Knicks matching that physical play.
32:41And that's been a big part of their defensive turnaround this year.
32:45As Dort picks up his third.
32:50It's the one word that Mike Brown used when we saw him maybe a month ago.
32:53You know the metrics were looking pretty good.
32:55There was an uptick in the defensive numbers.
32:58But the one word he used was physicality.
33:00He said when they run into teams that bring it to them.
33:03He didn't feel like they responded well to that.
33:06I think it's safe to say.
33:07Particularly these last couple of wins they've had against good defensive teams.
33:11They've matched that energy.
33:13They've matched that toughness.
33:14And you're just seeing a different edge to them on that end.
33:17SGA comes in.
33:19Holmgren.
33:19Twenty six points.
33:20Seven rebounds.
33:21The usual strong defense.
33:24And Bridges with his second one coming up.
33:26When you think about.
33:28Knicks have 20 games remaining.
33:30Oklahoma City 19.
33:31So a lot to be done.
33:33Knicks right now.
33:34Third in the east.
33:36Game and a half back of Boston.
33:37A game and a half ahead of Cleveland.
33:39So trying to get the best possible playoff positioning.
33:42OKC obviously the best record in the NBA.
33:45And there's three games ahead of the Spurs in the West.
33:49Would like to get home court throughout.
33:51Of course the Spurs own the tiebreaker.
33:54Narrow it down to tie him up.
34:00Playoffs not that far away legs.
34:02Can't wait.
34:03This has the field.
34:05That matters his life.
34:06Blocked by Towns.
34:07But got it off the backboard.
34:13So that gives him 21.
34:15So he is now.
34:17Scored 20 or more.
34:18And 124 consecutive games.
34:20Just two behind.
34:22The great Wilt Chamberlain.
34:25Amazing consistency and efficiency.
34:32Alvarado.
34:32Bridges.
34:33Dort right on him.
34:35Bridges makes his moves.
34:36Got to put it up.
34:37Just gets it off in time.
34:39Does hit the rim.
34:40Towns the rebound.
34:41Downs.
34:42Triple team.
34:43Gets it back out.
34:44Deshawn it.
34:45As the shot clock was reset.
34:48Alvarado gets inside.
34:49Lays it in.
34:50That's a huge offensive rebound for Carl Anthony Towns.
34:53Huge play.
34:54Because I thought he should have touched the ball twice earlier in the possession.
34:57When he had post up opportunities.
34:59Hug around.
35:00Creates a second possession.
35:02And then Alvarado.
35:03Quick to the rim on the closeout.
35:05SGA.
35:07And this is where he's so crafty.
35:10The ball handling.
35:11The footwork.
35:12And just an impossible cover.
35:1514 foul.
35:16And this is just.
35:17You know.
35:17He's got size and strength.
35:18And then.
35:20A little bit of good fortune.
35:21That ball's got to kick off the way that it did.
35:23For him to end up with that.
35:24I love this attack right here.
35:26You know.
35:27Catch it.
35:27No hesitation.
35:28Put your head down.
35:29Against the grain.
35:31Where that closeout defender is coming from.
35:33Very difficult for anybody.
35:34Including.
35:35Lou Dort to change directions that quickly.
35:37Nick's already with four team fouls at 729.
35:40The Thunder are the second best free throw shooting team in the league.
35:43Percentage wise.
35:44And it's down to three.
35:45Wiggins.
35:46Excellent ball movement.
35:47And the Thunder back up five.
35:49So a nine point turnaround already here in the fourth quarter.
35:54Nick's had led by four.
35:55Now it's a Thunder up by five.
36:00They put the big.
36:02Hendricks Williams.
36:02On Brunson again.
36:03Shot clock winding down.
36:05And Anobi goes right on SGA.
36:06Bang shot.
36:07Can't get it.
36:08And last touch by Towns.
36:11And Anobi had point blank range.
36:20They have two of the best closers in the NBA.
36:23In SGA and Brunson in this game.
36:26There's Alexander misses that shot.
36:28Brunson right now.
36:29Bringing it up.
36:30He's four of 13 from the field.
36:32Runs into Dort.
36:36Goes inside.
36:37Uses a right hand.
36:39Towns tip won't go.
36:40Had it knocked out of his hands.
36:42And a whistle on a foul on Karl-Anthony Towns.
36:45He got frustrated.
36:46Thought he was hit.
36:47And that's going to be his fourth foul.
36:5291-86.
36:53OKC up five.
36:55Six and a half to play.
36:56Fourth quarter at Madison Square Garden.
37:00The NBA on ESPN.
37:02Is presented all season long by State Farm.
37:05Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
37:08And in part by Burger King.
37:11Let's take a look at who's ruling the court.
37:13Brought to you by Burger King.
37:14Shane Gilders Alexander.
37:15The reigning MVP.
37:18Doing his thing again here.
37:20As he continues his consecutive games with 20 or more.
37:24Now just two behind Will Chamberlain.
37:26He's done it in 60 consecutive road games.
37:28That's the number one all-time mark.
37:30And again as we said.
37:32He's shooting 50 for a guard.
37:3455 percent from the field.
37:38Most efficient year he's had.
37:40And he's already won an MVP.
37:41But over 30 points a game multiple times.
37:46Very few guys his size historically have been able to shoot 50 percent this season.
37:50And particularly with that type of volume and usage.
37:53And like you look at Gilders Alexander and Brunson.
37:56These are two players.
37:58Everything you want in your franchise player.
38:00In terms of the skill level.
38:02The leadership.
38:03The way they carry themselves with their teammates.
38:07Both players beloved by their fan base.
38:10And they're money players.
38:11They show up when the lights are brightest.
38:13They want that moment.
38:14And they usually deliver.
38:17Six point OKC lead.
38:24And it's right back to a three point game.
38:28The simplicity of the action.
38:30You just know that you're going to drag two of your Brunson.
38:32And Anovi knew that he was going to hunt that.
38:35Got those hips turned.
38:36And able to get it off over the closeout of Shea.
38:40Another foul called.
38:42Shamit his fifth.
38:46Yeah.
38:47This just basic ball screen.
38:48He was going to take action.
38:49Look how he takes two.
38:50And now you're asking.
38:51Shea to cover about 15 20 feet.
38:54You saw Isaiah Joe thinking about coming off that corner.
38:57He decides to stay home.
38:59Not enough time.
39:00And Ananobi with a big shot right there.
39:02Momentum wise to the Knicks.
39:03Ananobi also three steals two blocks.
39:06As Isaiah Joe.
39:07Knocks down the free throw.
39:17Mark Dignal likes to call Isaiah Joe pound for pound.
39:20The most physical player.
39:22On the Thunder and that.
39:23And that is saying something.
39:26Knocks down two free throws.

46:08it's 76 percent he's three for
46:11four tonight overall OKC 17 of
46:1821 81 percent and we said they're
46:20the second best in the league
46:22from the free throw line game
46:26games like this they are all so
46:28critical well for the Knicks one
46:33good thing offensively you know
46:35these last few possessions they're
46:36running just simple two man with
46:38Brunson doing a great job of
46:40accepting the blitz moving it
46:42quickly out of it leading to good
46:44shots another clutch game under
46:5017 and 10 in clutch games this
46:52year eight within five points in
46:53five minutes or less five point
46:56lead right now for OKC Brunson on
46:58Wallace spins turns baseline jumper
47:01comes up short Towne's trying to
47:02grab it falls on it picks it up
47:04back out bridges and an OB to
47:07Shaman Landry Shaman on the drive
47:10pulls up shot block but a foul
47:14Carl Anthony Townes has nine
47:16offensive rebounds 17 total his work
47:19on the glass tonight has been
47:21nothing short of relentless he's
47:23coming up with rebounds that looks
47:25like he should have no business
47:27getting he's getting some smaller
47:29guys trying to keep them off the
47:30glass but he's got three jerseys blue
47:32jerseys around him on that play and
47:34he's still able to save that
47:36possession for the Knicks
47:37and aiming that free throw that's his
47:39first miss it's only 71 percent from
47:44the free throw line this year he has
47:46had a terrific game 13 points off the
47:49bench it's an 83 percent free throw
47:52shooter for his career goes one for two
47:55back to four
48:00jay gilders alexander 21.7 assists
48:05Towne's trying to help out
48:08sga floats to the home grid
48:09hunger puts it on the floor drives
48:11more baseline shot it's good tough
48:13shot from chet holmgren and a lead
48:16back up to six on the rhythm on his
48:18jump shot tonight's been the difference
48:20in the game for the thunder and what
48:21he's been able to do is get to his spot
48:23shooting so comfortably and an obi
48:26this is the three holmgren with another
48:28rebound 28 points eight boards for
48:30holmgren and as we hit the three
48:32minute mark
48:37sga draws a back shot won't go
48:41nope they're going to wave off the shot
48:43attempts it doesn't matter he still
48:45shoots two
48:46so ray acosta coming in saying not in the
48:48act of shooting but the Knicks has been
48:50in the penalty since the seven minute
48:52mark and carl anthony towns was
48:54fouled out
48:56so towns fouls out for the sixth time
48:59this season
49:01he'd been good at avoiding the foul
49:03trouble last couple of weeks
49:11a 17.17 rebound game
49:15it put him in a tough spot because he's
49:18defending the screen and that means that shea gildress alexander is
49:22you know trying to attack and turn the corner on him there you see the left arm come in i
49:26just
49:27don't think that's a lot contact right there but if you're carl anthony towns and you have five
49:31you can't really risk your arm coming up forward extending towards sga you have to slide with your hands
49:39back we're up if you've got five fouls see he's tied for first in the nba within wendell carter of
49:45the magic
49:46and gildress alexander is such a great free throw shooter
49:51puts him up seven now 22 points
50:04two big free throws there eight point lead now for the thunder
50:07as we're under the three-minute mark jaylen brunson just 4 of 15 from the field had a hot third
50:13quarter
50:14trying to get going again gets inside
50:16leans bounce past the heart and threw it away great double team wallace and holmgren
50:22this thunder defense is spectacular it really is it makes you second guess yourself because i thought
50:27brunson had an opportunity to shoot that over holmgren once he got him retreating hit him with the
50:31shoulder but for some reason he hesitated because of holmgren's length under misses that three-pointer
50:37hart tracks down the rebound josh hart is playing the five right now mike brown going small ball
50:44the town sound out mitchell robinson not playing brunson drives on door feet inside deflected out by holmgren
50:53it's more than just the block shots he's just his presence is everywhere yeah that reach you know he was
50:58outside the lane when this pass took place and even from our angle we had a really good look at
51:02that
51:03it looked like brunson had a window to get that in there and then all of a sudden out of
51:06nowhere you
51:06see chet holmgren's right arm come in and get that deflection
51:20that's the 14th assist for jayla brunson nicks back within six with two minutes to go i have to find
51:26a
51:26way to stop sga and it'll be guards enough shadow picks him up the double team isaiah joe three-pointer
51:32won't go rebound hart
51:36hart pushing back to brunson
51:39wilds right with him every step of the way brunson drives goes inside the floater comes up short
51:44knocked out of bounds
51:47what did they call a foul yep a foul called
51:55so dort picks up his fifth josh hart shaken up again that's the 14th foul so a side out that's
52:03but
52:03one brunson would love to have back he hasn't gotten to that place right there near the restricted area
52:08with a free hand very often tonight he just short-armed that hit the front of the rim
52:14brunson inbounding bridges comes to get it back into the hands of brunson
52:19holmgren and wallace all over brunson nice speed inside put away by wallace
52:23hart got a back block by harland with a foul
52:27and again the thunder out of challenges now they've had two successful ones and two free throws for josh hart
52:34a chance to cut it to four with a minute and a half to go
52:38they called a foul on wallace
52:41that's his second
52:44knicks have missed six free throws just 14 of 20.
52:48hart's first free throws of the night hard on the season 71
52:59man it was so quiet on that free throw as he hits the first saturday before the warriors in thunder
53:058 30 eastern inside the nba with ernie kenny charles and shack tip off our coverage at eight
53:11we'll be on after the game following golden state and this okc team okc
53:18trying to win their 49th game of the season
53:23hart has 11 rebounds just seven points
53:26but two clutch free throws there each team with multiple timeouts remaining both teams in the
53:33penalty and the last possession they had an aggressive flitz on shea to force him to give it up and
53:38live
53:38with the results they've got a lot of guys that can knock down shots but you've got to force that
53:43to happen
53:43three players good sga knocks down the clutch three and that makes it a seven point game what a big
53:50bucket from sga
53:52first attempt from there for the night and gets it to go in a critical time hart lays it up
53:58and in
53:59back to five with 107 to play
54:06wallace has it
54:09and an obion sga back to wallace blue dork off the bounce story throws it away
54:15offensive foul punts and draws another charge with 51.7 seconds remaining and dort has just fouled out of the
54:23game
54:23you know the crowd liking that court fouls out for the first time
54:31this season we talk about you know people seeing chen hunger back there and almost like you're seeing
54:37ghosts around the rim it's the same thing with brunson it's at the point if you're going to drive the
54:42ball
54:42against the knicks it's almost like you have to expect if he's on the other side of the floor
54:46where he's going to end up the below the rim rim protector does does it again
54:53dort having a strong game two sixteen points three three pointers excellent defense
55:00wiggins comes back in 51.7 seconds remaining
55:04each team again still has two timeouts nicks do have one challenge left
55:09down by five
55:14brunson smith's falling away puts it up puts it in three-point game with 40 seconds remaining
55:20big bucket from brunson now 16 points 15 assists crowd on its feet
55:29and an obi guarding sga
55:33shot clock at eight homebred couple of dribbles four on the 24 homebred drive spins puts it up
55:41won't go heart the rebound 15 seconds remaining should the thunder foul
55:49too much time but now you're getting into that range where you could but not when he first got in
55:53to the scoring area and wallace pokes it out of bounds nicks have multiple timeouts they're going to use one
55:59here
56:00the interesting strategy the thunder up by three
56:03six seconds remaining nicks with a chance to tie it they'll have the ball when we return
56:08will okc foul oriana set that a couple in the bucks hosting the hawks
56:15here in new york six seconds remaining
56:18thunder leading by three legs
56:19what's your strategy if you're the thunder defensively i think okc would consider taking a
56:24foul but it totally depends on where
56:26the player is for the nicks and what direction they're headed when they touch the basketball
56:31headed toward half court you should have enough time to take that foul force them to the line and
56:36they put holmgren on the inbounder nicks do have a timeout left get it into brunson brunson three-pointer
56:42won't go rebound tip taken by ananobi and the thunder hold on and win here at the garden
56:51two good looks two good chances to tie the game
56:55but it wouldn't fall and a terrific battle between two of the nba's elite
57:00well i'll tell you what jalen brunson was able to get open off of this initially as you see the
57:06confusion on the switch that's about as clean a look as you'd hope and then one more opportunity
57:12that's a really good look by ananobi who got on balance and just left it short
57:17so brunson made some big plays with 16 points 15 assists but just five of 18 from the field chet
57:25holmgren magnificent tonight 28 points eight rebounds and just overall superb defense gilders
57:32alexander with 26 she gilders alexander is now 7-0 lifetime at madison square garden the thunder now
57:41seven and one in their last eight and for the first time this season the knicks lose a game at
57:47home
57:47that they had leading going into the fourth quarter they were 19 and oh well the thunder spoiled that
57:53record shay gilders alexander has a couple of records on tap and he's with george thanks mike shay
58:00take me through those final sequences that three you hit and then the defense on the other end
58:05yeah late late game you got to just figure it out and whatever it looks like we didn't we didn't
58:12like
58:12we didn't have the third quarter we wanted they were playing fast they were the aggressor
58:15but we kind of got the car wreck on the road in the fourth quarter and were able to give
58:18ourselves
58:18a chance late game but yeah late game you just got to figure it out i made plays guys made
