The New York Knicks blew a double-digit lead in the second half and suffered a bitter four-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 127-123 on Monday night.

The Knicks, who led by as much as 11 points in the third quarter, fell to 25-33 and no. 12 in the Eastern Conference. Julius Randle, who has been bearing the brunt of their dismal campaign, had a valiant effort, putting up a triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. But still, his numbers weren't enough to propel them to victory.

Randle didn't hide his frustrations after the game, as the Knicks have now lost nine of their last 11 games (via ESPN).

“We’re just letting a lot of them go. Our last five (were) very winnable games.”

The 27-year-old Randle anchored the Knicks' inspired run last season, en route to winning Most Improved Player of the Year. But things aren't as peachy this season, with the versatile forward reportedly wanting a trade out of the Big Apple.

For what it's worth, Randle has been playing great as of late, scoring at least 28 points in their last six outings and registering a double-double in six of their last seven games.

He could really use the All-Star break to take inventory of their subpar campaign, and hopefully, the Knicks could regroup and right the ship to get back into contention for the NBA Playoffs.
