Who knew Charles Oakley could still find a way to be relevant in 2017? Going after Knicks owner James Dolan during a game can do that. That and more NBA action lead the Thursday Cheat Sheet.

Charles Oakley caused quite a scene at MSG

Oakley went after Knicks owner James Dolan, prompting security to escort him from the arena. He was then arrested and will reportedly be charged with three counts of assault.

Oakley’s scuffle overshadowed the rest of what was actually a very good game that began with DeAndre Jordan getting a ball stuck in the MSG scoreboard.

While we’re talking about DeAndre, he also airballed another free throw.

In the real action, Blake Griffin and Kristaps Porzingis went toe-to-toe as the Clippers dominated the fourth quarter to win 119-115. Griffin got the best of the matchup with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, along with this highlight reel slam on young Kristaps.

I still have no idea how Willie Cauley-Stein dunked this

But somehow he did.

Cauley-Stein finished with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists off the bench as the Kings beat the Celtics without Boogie Cousins.

The Nets lost again…but at least it was close!

The Nets came back in the fourth quarter to force overtime against the Wizards, but that was their high moment of the night. (And the month, so far.)

But Washington edged Brooklyn 114-110 in overtime, and the Nets have now lost 11 straight games.

Things are only getting worse for the Nets as they are getting red ads on their jerseys that will ruin their slick look.

Seems like no one in New York is doing things right.

One last moment of procrastination
