On Sunday, the Thunder played a high-scoring matinee contest against the New York Knicks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was amazing as per usual but the story of the night belonged to Josh Giddey. Giddey finally broke out of his funk and notched another triple-double in Madison Square Garden.
He is the first person since Wilt Chamberlain to have consecutive triple-doubles in one of the NBA’s most storied arenas. Giddey played aggressively from the off and scored a season high, 24 points.
Giddey changed the emphasis of his scoring game by employing the floater more often and found a lot of success as he finished over Knicks’ defenders.
