Knicks’ depth problem comes into full view after rough Thunder loss
NY Post
CHICAGO — If it’s not a minutes distribution problem, it’s a depth problem.
And either way, the issue was on full display Friday night in Oklahoma City — not only because the Knicks were overwhelmed down the stretch, but because of the stark contrast to the opponent.
The Thunder, the NBA’s hottest team, went 10 deep with their rotation and the bench scored 44 points.
The Knicks, meanwhile, used just eight players and managed just five points from their reserves.
Every Knicks starter logged at least 40 minutes in the 117-107 loss to the Thunder — the first time that’s happened for the franchise in the regular season since 2013.
When coach Tom Thibodeau saw his lead dwindle from eight points to two, he called a timeout three minutes into the fourth quarter, reinserted the starters, and rode them the rest of the game.
