New York has been dominant at home all season, winning 13 of its 14 games. However, the road had been a different story. The Knicks were 3-6 away from Madison Square Garden before Tuesday’s game, with wins against the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets and Dallas Mavericks, who were without Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg.

Preparing for the NBA Cup, Gilgeous-Alexander had quite a handful of notable quotes from what he was asked at the December extravaganza. It's one thing for pundits and fans to wonder if the Thunder could make history with the absurd amount of wins they get. It's another to hear OKC's franchise superstar fully embrace those talks.
