RJ Barrett and Thibs cost Knicks vs Thunder

The Knicks fall to the Thunder in Oklahoma City 129-120. Tom Thibodeau's rotational use of struggling RJ Barrett proved costly coming down the stretch.

 

The coach doesn't value Immanuel Quickley and he is surely going to be leaving NY after this season. Quickle had 20 points in only 22 minutes and didn't play the last 4 minutes of the game. Randle scored 25 and Brunson had 24 in the losing effort.

 

OKC was led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, who both scored 36 points. It was J-Will's career high, and he also went 5-5 from deep.

Chet Holgrem had 22 points and 4 blocks, and no other Thunder player scored in double figures.
