Knicks fail biggest test yet as nine-game winning streak ends with brutal loss to Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY — For parts of a big Friday night in Knicks land, Tom Thibodeau’s squad was more than hanging with the red-H๏τ Thunder.

It was, especially in the second quarter, shredding the top-ranked defense.

But when it came down to brᴀss tacks — when the clock hit winning time in the fourth quarter — the Thunder flexed their superior depth with their MVP candidate and the Knicks couldn’t keep up in a 117-107 defeat.

A pair of Jalen Brunson turnovers proved pivotal in the final three-plus minutes, as Shai-Gilgeous Alexander took over to cap his 33-point, seven-ᴀssist performance.

Off the bench, OKC’s Aaron Wiggins outscored New York’s reserves by himself, 19-5.
