- Anthony’s performance was all the more glaring as he frequently found himself isolated on the wing or elbow, trying to break down Oklahoma City’s defense but finding himself caught in a forest of burly Thunder big men or clanging shots off the rim. / At times, the Knicks’ offense looked short-circuited. Anthony, despite his cold hand, kept shooting.
