With Paul George (28 points, 6 rebounds) and Carmelo Anthony (22 points) beside him, the Thunder easily won against the Knicks (105-84). Kristaps Porzingis (31 points, 12 rebounds) will have bounced under the panels, New York was not sized against OKC (105-84).
As usual, the Oklahoma City audience is waiting for the first basket of his team to sit down. And for the debut of the "Big Three", the action was only more symbolic: Russell Westbrook serves Paul George three points, before going to pick the offensive rebound among the giants and serve Carmelo Anthony at three points , this time successful! The Thunder takes the first gap but Enes Kanter and Kristaps Porzingis roll out a real clinic of interior movements to leave the Knicks in touch (27-24).
In fact, OKC's "Big Three" scored 44 of the team's 53 points at the break, but he also monopolized the game with 35 of the 44 attempted shots altogether. Westbrook is clearly behind to serve his new game partners who water: George at 5/14 and Anthony at 5/13. Behind Porzingis (19 points, 9 rebounds at halftime) enjoying Melo, New York stands firm. Frank Ntilikina saw a rather painful entry, as did Michael Beasley, who had barely entered the game and was hurting his left ankle and had to get back to the locker room quickly.
The Thunder finished strong with a 13-2 concluded by a dunk just before the buzzer of Paul George (53-42). Worse, Jeff Hornacek takes a technique after complaining of non-whistled contacts against OKC. Reassembled as never before, it has bordered on expulsion. On the return of the locker room, OKC takes control of the game, and ten points apart before blowing up the New York defense in pieces by an alley oops festival for Adams and Roberson. Westbrook reached the 10 assists with three offerings one after the other. The defending MVP will even clinch its 80th career triple double with 21 points, 16 assists, 10 rebounds.
