Grading Thunder players in offensive explosion over Knicks

The Oklahoma City Thunder scored the most points in a game by any team so far this season in their 145-135 win over the New York Knicks. Both teams started the game off hot, but as the Knicks fizzled down, the Thunder continued to hit their shots. OKC shot a phenomenal 62 percent from the field, and knocked down 54 percent of their three-pointers. A historical game for OKC on the offensive side of the floor.

The Oklahoma City Thunder catch fire in 145-135 win behind spectacular performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.

In eight out of 12 games so far this season, Gilgeous-Alexander has dropped over 30 points. A breakout season in the making for the young Thunder star, and with performances like this, OKC will continue to win games.

The Knicks scored 48 points in the first quarter, making nearly every shot they took, especially from deep. As soon as the game looked like it was going to be all Knicks, OKC bounced back. They scored 43 points in the second and third quarters, gaining a lead they would not give up.

This Thunder squad has been all defense to start the season, with Gilgeous-Alexander carrying most of the offensive load. However, everyone caught fire for OKC in this game.
