5 takeaways: Thunder fall to Knicks as Lu Dort takes ball handling duties

The New York Knicks outscored the Oklahoma City Thunder by 20 points in the second half to prevent OKC from picking up its second win of the second half of the season.

Oklahoma City lost 119-97 in a game without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Darius Bazley.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault threw out unusual lineup combinations as Oklahoma City continues trying to learn more about its roster. This included using Lu Dort as the primary playmaker for long stretches and even playing the group of bigs Al Horford, Aleksej Pokusevski and Moses Brown, who range from 6-foot-9 to 7-foot-2, all on the court at the same time.

Here are five takeaways from the loss.
