Obi Toppin is 2-for-2 from beyond the arc today, moving him to 40 percent on the season (40.7, to be exact). He shot roughly 31% on 3s in his first 2 seasons. This is probably the only positive thing you can say about NYK right now. They trail OKC by 16 at home entering the 4th. – 1:57 PM

Have to doublecheck but think that Evan Fournier to Obi Toppin lob just set a Knicks franchise record for points in a first quarter — 46 (and counting) – 12:36 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has done a great job since the Knicks started their run of being aggressive and hunting his shot to try to keep OKC within reach. But it’s been all Knicks to close this frame. – 12:33 PM

Really good pass by Josh Giddey to set up that Aleksej Pokusevski 3. Giddey has had a strong couple of games looks like he has his groove again. Poku inbound steal gets OKC within 1. Fun Sunday afternoon! – 12:23 PM

Fun matchup between SGA and RJ Barrett.
“He’s like a little brother to me,” SGA said in 2020. “He’s actually my little brother’s age, so it’s kind of cool. Not a lot of guys get to make it this far, and to see him make it this far and do what he’s doing has been special.” – 12:16 PM
