Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made the go-ahead jumper from the corner with 2.6 seconds left, sending the Oklahoma City Thunder to the playoffs for the first time since 2020 with a 113-112 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night. Josh Giddey had 16 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists for Oklahoma City, which moved back into sole possession of first place in the Western Conference at 52-22 with its second straight win. It was Giddey's third career triple-double all against the Knicks.
Donte DiVincenzo was on the verge of history and in a hurry to get there. Needing one more 3-pointer to break a franchise record, DiVincenzo found himself a bit flustered by a crowd that wanted him to fire as soon as he touched the ball from wherever he was, the way fans usually respond to Stephen Curry. DiVinzenzo scored a career-best 40 points, leading the New York Knicks to a 124-99 rout of Detroit on Monday night for their 15th straight victory over the Pistons.
OG Anunoby is in the starting lineup for the New York Knicks against Philadelphia on Tuesday after having right elbow surgery and missing 18 games. All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey is back for the 76ers after a four-game absence because of a concussion. The forward had helped the Knicks surge to what became a 14-2 record in January after they acquired him from Toronto on Dec. 30.
