Alex Caruso of the Oklahoma City Thunder recently gave his thoughts on how the team will fair in the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein.

With an opportunity to defeat his former team, Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein provided the keys to beat the Knicks twice in one week. Coming off a 129-122 loss to the league-leading Cavs, the Thunder saw their epic 15-game win streak end. Hartenstein spoke to reporters during the team shootaround.

It was a happy return to Manhattan for Isaiah Hartenstein, whose Oklahoma City Thunder dismantled the Knicks by a 126-101 final on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
