Thunder identity shows in 14th win to equal best run
The Straits Times
|January 05, 2025
The Oklahoma City Thunder, as a team of 15 "really skilled basketball players", just keep getting better and are not ready to stop any time soon.
-
On Jan 3, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points to lead the team to their 14th consecutive National Basketball Association (NBA) victory, a 117-107 home win over the New York Knicks.
The Thunder matched the longest win streak in franchise history from the 1995-96 season, when they were the Seattle SuperSonics, and also snapped New York's nine-game win streak, the Knicks' longest since 2013.
It was only the fourth time in the NBA's 79-year history that teams on win streaks of nine or more faced each other.
Gilgeous-Alexander hit 12 of 26 from the floor and a perfect seven from the free-throw line, while Jalen Williams added 20 points and Aaron Wiggins had 19 off the bench as Thunder reserves outscored the Knicks bench 35-5.
"They made big plays all night," said Gilgeous-Alexander of his bench.
"We're a roster of 15 men, 15 professionals, 15 really skilled basketball players. Guys were ready for their moment."
The Knicks closed the second quarter on a 23-10 run for a 66-54 half-time lead, Mikal Bridges scoring 19 of his team-high 24 points in the first half.
