Thriller scenario at Madison Square Garden but the Thunder knew how to pull out of the game to get a victory with guts against the Knicks. Clumsy, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander knew how to be clutch at the right time with a huge game winner.

Two teams from the Top 4 of their conference who find themselves on the floor. No doubt, this Knicks – Thunder was a shock in the middle of a packed evening of matches. Long uncertain, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is well dressed for the occasion.
Jalen Williams size boss
If the Canadian signs his return, we had a two-faced SGA this evening. Quite clumsy and less sharp than usual, the star leader of the Thunder left the light to a Jalen Williams of very big evenings. Author of 33 points and 8 assists, the winger was in all the good shots. His heatwave at the start of the second quarter completely revived his team after a complicated start to the match.
It’s still him who is there in money time to put in the important shots while New York is close in the retro. Big match also for Josh Giddey, with a triple-double and valuable in the last act.
Jalen Williams put on a SHOW in the @okcthunder‘s down-to-the-wire win at MSG 🤩

A crazy end to the match
We place a lot of emphasis on this money time because it was the most improbable part of this meeting. A final act which was marked by a lot of clumsiness on both sides, with many wasted free throws. Enough to give the Knicks some regrets, especially given the close score.
New York was however very close to winning, with a well clutch Jalen Brunson (30 points) who had put his team in front with four seconds on the clock. The leader should undoubtedly have benefited from an additional throw but the referees obviously felt that it was not worth it, everyone will have their own opinion.

A point ahead, four seconds to play and it was captain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who took the winning shot. SGA takes responsibility and turns off the Garden. At the right time, the star was able to make his team win and with this victory, the Thunder are officially back in the Playoffs!
