The Paycom Center was buzzing with excitement as the Oklahoma City Thunder showcased an impressive offensive display against the visiting New York Knicks.

Their two-point attempts were particularly effective, with a success rate of 60 percent. This shooting accuracy contributed significantly to their total tally of points.
Defensively, Oklahoma City also made its presence felt by blocking a remarkable total of ten shots throughout the game.
