And like I said yesterday, OKC killed the Knicks from tip off to the final buzzer.
This wasn’t even a game, it was an exhibition. The Knicks have played the most Christmas Day games and after this game are now 22-27. Dismal.
This tweet from NBA.com writer John Schuhmann perfectly explained how dead the game was from HALFTIME.
I knew it was going to be a blowout but I thought New York were at least going to do it gracefully. The only positive I can get from the Knicks season overall is the emergence of Tim Hardaway Jr.
Get this kid on the court he is such a star on the bench I can’t help but say he is not getting enough minutes. 21 points for the underrated rookie.
But lets give Oklahoma City a standing O. Because they knuckled down, took advantage and whooped the Knicks when they were without Carmelo Anthony for a game.

Last thing… Russell Westbrook. Ditches his recent streak of 20+ point games and instead goes for a triple double. 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Monster game.
123-94 the final score. The worst home loss on Christmas Day for the New York Knicks…
