It’s Friday, January 10th, and the Oklahoma City Thunder (30-6) and New York Knicks (25-13) are all set to face off at Madison Square Garden in New York.

These teams played in OKC just last Friday, with the Thunder winning 1117-107. The Knicks got virtually no help from their bench, as only 5 of their 107 points came from non-starters.
