The Knicks had the NBA’s second-longest winning streak snapped Friday night in Oklahoma City by the Western Conference-leading Thunder (117-107), who own the league’s streak now at 14 games. New York shot 47.8% in that game and topped 100 points for the 16th straight game, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33 points) and company countered by hitting 51.2% of their shots and 14 of 27 from 3-point range in the win.

The Bulls are staying afloat in the early Eastern Conference playoff chase with their 15-19 record, and they gear up now for a stretch where they play seven of their next eight games at home. Last time out, Chicago lost on the road to an improving Washington Wizards team (125-107), despite getting a game-high 32 points from Zach LaVine.
