OG Anunoby

Busy at work, using a 22-point avalanche to keep his New York Knicks within striking distance of the Indiana Pacers in the first half, OG Anunoby made certain that his final contributions would serve as the knockout blow. Maneuvering through Game Two with the look of a player boasting a championship background and big-game pedigree, Anunoby finds himself stationed along the far right corner with the ball swinging his way, and a chance to finally wrestle away the Pacers’ lead. Eye-to-eye with a player he hoisted a championship with just five years prior, Anunoby loads up, launching a 3-pointer over Pascal Siakam’s contest, fittingly providing the Knicks with a three-point advantage they would never again relinquish. A hamstring injury did end his night after just three quarters, but not before Anunoby was able to etch his signature into the history books with a dynamic performance, propelling New York to a 2-0 series open. Needing just 28 minutes to put his imprint on the marquee win, Anunoby worked in perfect cohesion with two other 20-point scorers, recording 28 points, four rebounds, three assists, one rejection, and four 3-pointers on May 8, 2024.
