OG Anunoby

Likely aware of the many questions surrounding the New York Knicks’ championship potential and ability to beat the NBA’s top dogs, OG Anunoby arrived to February 28, 2025’s clash bearing a message of own. Before he spoke though, one unskippable step was required first: silencing the Memphis Grizzlies’ fired-up home crowd. Accustomed to high-stakes situations after experiencing a title push in 2019, and other reasonably-deep runs thereafter, the New York Knicks’ two-way swingman lifts up the perimeter on the weak side, knowing the attention that his All-NBA teammate’s isolation would command. Calm and confident in his raise, Anunoby connects on a cold-blooded trifecta, affording New York a one-point lead in the final seconds. Sorely needing a win over one of the league’s premier teams, the Knicks found success here, as they moved to 39-20. Joining five others in the double-figure scoring column, Anunoby concluded the night with 19 points (on 7-of-17 shooting), three rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks, and four treys.
