MICHAEL BEASLEY'S 3 POINTER WINS IT FOR THE THUNDER
Following their 65-64 loss to the Thunder, Rasheed Wallace was seen knocking over a trash can and kicking in a vending machine on his way to the locker room. This is clearly a sign that things aren't going well in New York. This is the fourth consecutive game that has been decided by 2 points or less. The Knicks are 1-3 in these matchups. Wallace refused to talk to the media and flashed a vulgar hand sign at cameras before leaving the arena.
The Knicks got off to a slow start, but ended with a better shooting percentage than the Thunder. However, the Thunder went 15 for 19 from the free throw line to the Knicks 3 for 6. Clearly, this can't continue if the Knicks want to become a better team. With the game tied at 62, Michael Beasley hit a 3 pointer late in the 4th quarter. Rafer Alston responded with a quick bucket that closed the gap to 1. When the Thunder inbounded the ball, the Knicks were unable to get an intentional foul before the time expired.
Michael Beasley gets it done.
Brevin Knight only made 2 field goals, but his 7 assists and 8-8 free throw shooting were essential. The Thunder also outscored the Knicks 11-2 in second chance points. With a 5-4 record they're still hovering above .500, but the New York fan base is starting to get get worried. After the game the team was treated to a chorus of boo's that lasted for several minutes.
