Oklahoma City Thunder serge pass the
Knicks 112-100
By Brian Riley
Kevin Durant was the biggest star this
afternoon as he led all players with 41 points. He led his team to a 112-110
victory over the 10th placed New York Knicks. Carmelo Anthony had an
off game with 15 points on 5-of-19 shooting.
The first half was very competitive
with both teams going back and forth, neither opening a significant lead. Due
to Anthony’s inefficiency, the supporting cast steeped up as Raymond Felton and
Amare Stoudemire contributed 16 points each.
As for OKC’s role players Reggie
Jackson continued his development with 19 points, and Ibaka added 18 points several
of which were assist that came from Durant.
Durant continued his MVP level play
with 12-of-22 shooting in addition to his nine assist as the Thunder pulled
away in the second half. Durant helped seal the game by scoring 11 straight
points in the fourth quarter. The Thunder shot 54.8% from the floor while the
Knicks shot 44.2%. The Thunder also had an advantage in rebounding and fast
break points.
The Thunder earned their 41st
win of the season and now sit four games ahead of the number two seed Portland
Trailblazers. With this victory the Thunder have swept the Knicks in this
year’s season series.
