NEW YORK – The Thunder is a young team from an age standpoint, but amongst there veteran core there is a wealth of knowledge. On Tuesday night, the Thunder leaned on that crunch time experience and the battles it has faced to take a 128-122 overtime victory over the New York Knicks.
The Knicks seemed to control most of the game, despite the 22 ties and 20 lead changes that created a ping-pong match on the scoreboard. A massive Thunder run in the fourth quarter helped Head Coach Billy Donovan’s club get back into it, and then in the extra period, experienced playmakers Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook took over.
