(Video) J.R. Smith lights up the Garden but can’t prevent New York Knicks loss

Oklahoma City Thunder seal a 95-94 win over the Knicks in NBA.

With Carmelo Anthony ruled out with a knee injury, the New York Knicks required his teammates to step up and deliver against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Despite a superb effort from J.R. Smith, who finished the game with 36 points, the Thunder ran out winner.

Amar’e Stoudemire contributed 16 points but it was almost a one man show for the Knicks, as Smith made shot after shot.

However, led by the 34 points from Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City escaped from Madison Square Garden with the win as they continue their pursuit of the San Antonio Spurs at the top of the Western Conference.
