While the general consensus is that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/1-move-new-york-knicks-shouldve-made-2025-nba-offseason">Knicks are still a piece away</a> from legitimate title contention, the front office has done an impressive job of turning the team from laughingstock to playoff contender in a short amount of time.</p><p>One of the key trade acquisitions for New York over the last couple of years was OG Anunoby, who was brought in from the Toronto Raptors and has been a key part of giving the Knicks a respectable defense despite the team’s best two players–Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns–being weak points on that end.</p><p>Recently, Ronnie 2k revealed that Anunoby confronted him about his rating of 87 in the newest iteration of the game.</p><p>“Last night, after dinner at the Wynn, OG comes up to me and talks my ear off for a half an hour… he was going in on ‘I’m an 87. I should be at least a 92.’ I’m like wow, OK. But he had real thoughts, real feelings, real things to back up,” said Ronnie, per the Big Podcast with Shaq. “His argument was that we skew offensively more than defensively. I actually don’t agree with that. I think we balance it really well.”</p><p>Anunoby has long been known as one of the elite wing perimeter defenders in the league and has added immensely to his offensive game over the years, becoming a key cog for a Knicks team that recently put together its most successful season in a quarter of a century.</p><p>However, ratings of 92 are usually reserved for players considered to be stars or at least star-adjacent, a category that Anunoby doesn’t necessarily fall into.</p><p>Still, with a team led by Brunson and Towns, there’s no understating how important Anunoby is in helping the Knicks secure stops and knock down open three pointers on the other end, in addition to creating his own offense from time to time.</p><p>The Knicks’ schedule is slated to be released later this month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Honestly, I just enjoy watching basketball, which is why I went to most of the games.”</p><p>Lee clarified the nature of her and Anunoby’s relationship again: “There’s nothing there.

A formerly optimistic endeavor had turned sour on their own floor, continuing a befuddling trend of home-court mishaps. This squad stayed true to its identity, though, thriving on the road and in the face of severe public cynicism.</p><p>Karl-Anthony Towns posted what could be remembered as a legendary Knickerbockers performance if New York wins the series, leading his team to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-ben-stiller-tom-thibodeau-game-3-pacers">desperately-needed 106-100 victory</a> in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Questions swirled around the big man after he was benched in the fourth quarter of Friday’s loss, but he and the No. 3 seed responded with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-ny-sets-new-nba-record-with-game-3-miracle-vs-pacers">another 20-point comeback win</a>. When the Knicks play with a chip on their shoulder, magic seems to ensue.</p><p>Well, fans will be delighted to know that another key player also has a reason to be extra motivated heading into Game 4. Following Sunday night’s triumph, OG Anunoby had a unique press conference experience. No reporter asked him a single question, prompting the two-way wing to <a href="https://x.com/sny_knicks/status/1926846242371371173" rel="noopener">bolt out of the room</a> without saying a word, via the SNY Knicks Videos X account.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">A quick press conference for OG Anunoby 😂 <a href="https://t.co/3FsBADvlzi">pic.twitter.com/3FsBADvlzi</a></p><p>— Knicks Videos (@sny_knicks) <a href="https://twitter.com/sny_knicks/status/1926846242371371173?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>OG Anunoby, Knicks come through in critical situation</b></h2><p>The media’s silence was particularly curious given the important role Anunoby played in the outcome of the contest. He scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting and recorded three blocks, including a clutch one on Game 1 meteorite Aaron Nesmith with 3:39 left on the clock. Anunoby did not appear to mind, however. He looked completely dialed-in and eager to ride this latest adrenaline high.</p><p>But given how the Knicks just responded to criticism, it may benefit him to draw emotional fuel from this inadvertent snub.</p><p>New York’s championship dreams seemed destined to die in Indianapolis, as the Pacers built a 20-point lead in the first half and went into the fourth quarter still up 10. A combination of gritty bench play, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-karl-anthony-towns-immediate-reaction-to-20-point-eruption">Karl-Anthony Towns’ 20-point final frame</a> and excellent team defense in the second half helped the Knicks save their season. At least for the time being.</p><p>They survived despite Jalen Brunson falling into foul trouble and struggling from the field (6-of-18). A group effort will again be needed if New York is going to beat the supremely tenacious Pacers for a second straight time in Indy. OG Anunoby must stay focused and make more pivotal plays in crunch time, and if he does, reporters should have plenty to ask him on Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They pulled off a near-miraculous <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/how-knicks-mikal-bridges-used-football-instincts-to-literally-steal-game-1-from-celtics">comeback to steal Game 1 in Boston.</a></p><p>However, things have been an uphill battle all game on Wednesday. The Knicks have trailed by as many as 20 points. But there was a major turning point midway through the third quarter that has Knicks fans up in arms.</p><p>With a little under seven minutes remaining in the third quarter and New York trailing 57-48, OG Anunoby put Derrick White on a poster. The problem for the Knicks: Anunoby was <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1920276690925699152" rel="noopener">called for an offensive foul</a>.</p><p>You be the judge.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">OG Anunoby POSTERIZED Derrick White 🤯</p><p>But it gets waved off for a charge.<a href="https://t.co/4nrJSwNGwv">pic.twitter.com/4nrJSwNGwv</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1920276690925699152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Anunoby was the trailer on the play and his momentum skied him well over White. His knee caught the former sixth man square in the chest as it appeared White had got outside of the restricted zone.</p><p>But that did not stop fans from <a href="https://x.com/FrattyGroyper/status/1920277354716262741" rel="noopener">complaining about the refs</a>.</p><p>“OG was in the air already terrible call 😫,” one fan wrote.</p><p>While another attempted making a point, but is not quite up to date on NBA rules.</p><p>“Wasn’t even fully set before he already jumped going to dunk, bs refs to keep this a series and prevent the sweep,” wrote X user Frat Groyper.</p><p>A few years ago, the NBA changed their charging rules. No longer does a defender need to be completely set with his feet. However, he does need to clear the restricted zone, which White clearly did.</p><p>Interestingly, earlier in the game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jaylen-brown-drops-truth-bomb-about-awful-shooting-in-game-1-loss-to-knicks">Celtics star Jaylen Brown</a> was also called for an offensive foul on a poster dunk on Jalen Brunson. Of course, there was no mention of that from either X user.</p><p>Nevertheless, this call led to a huge shift in momentum. The Celtics then went on an 13-2 run to build the 20-point lead.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After all, they went 0-4 against them in the regular season, and three of those losses weren’t particularly close. But in Game 1, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-fans-in-shambles-after-painful-game-1-collapse-vs-knicks">Knicks came out with a vengeance</a>, overcoming a 20-point deficit in the third quarter to grab a 108-105 victory in overtime.</p><p>As per usual, it was Jalen Brunson who did the bulk of the damage for the Knicks; he scored a team-high 29 points and drew the defensive attention of Jrue Holiday, the Celtics’ best defender (among many elite defenders). But it wasn’t just Brunson who powered the Knicks to victory lane. OG Anunoby, who’s not as big-time of a scorer as Brunson, matched him point per point, scoring 29 as well on 10-20 shooting from the field (6-11 from deep) — including a monster dunk over Jayson Tatum in overtime.</p><p>When Anunoby fills up the scoring column, this usually means good things for the Knicks. In fact, as pointed out by StatMuse on X (formerly Twitter), the Knicks have now <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1919570563388846177" rel="noopener">won five consecutive games</a> in which Anunoby has scored 25 points or more.</p><p>Anunoby has scored 25 points or more this season (including playoffs) a total of 17 times, and during those games, the Knicks have gone 12-5 — a win percentage of nearly 71 percent. That would have been good for a 58-win season and the fourth-best record in the association.</p><p>It usually means good things whenever Anunoby racks up the points. It means that his shot is falling at an efficient level and that he’s providing high-level complementary play for the Knicks. Typically, the responsibility to lead the offense falls on Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns’ shoulders, but when Anunoby is firing on all cylinders as well, the Knicks become very difficult to stop.</p><h2><b>Knicks steal homecourt advantage with Game 1 comeback</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Knicks-Mikal-Bridges.jpg"></figure><p>OG Anunoby was instrumental in the Knicks’ comeback Game 1 win; he had just six points at the halftime interval but he proceeded to score 23 points in the second half (including overtime). Anunoby rose to the occasion while <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-fans-ruthlessly-troll-jayson-tatum-amid-bostons-meltdown-vs-knicks">Jayson Tatum struggled from the field</a> and the Celtics, as a result, relinquished the 20-point lead (72-52) that they held in the middle of the third quarter.</p><p>This Knicks win further proves that the regular-season is far from a concrete indicator of how a certain matchup would go come playoff time. And they will look to keep it going when Game 2 of the series comes along on Wednesday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I don’t think any of us up here were surprised, I think it’s just the timing of what he did, when he did it was just perfect for us and our team,” Brunson said.</p><p>Now in his ninth NBA season and second with the Knicks, Anunoby posted career-best numbers during the regular season. He averaged 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 47.6% from the field and 36.2% from three-point range over 74 games.</p><p>Anunoby’s contributions were especially significant during a 15-game stretch when Brunson was sidelined with an ankle sprain. During that span, Anunoby led the team with averages of 23.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He also shot 39.2% from beyond the arc, helping New York maintain its position near the top of the Eastern Conference standings.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/why-knicks-wing-defenders-represent-key-success-vs-pistons">Knicks will begin their 2025 playoff campaign with a first-round matchup against Cade Cunningham</a> and the Detroit Pistons. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-new-york-injury-update-game-1-pistons-nba-playoffs">Game 1 is set for Saturday at 6:00 p.m. ET</a> at Madison Square Garden and will air on ESPN.</p><p>Anunoby’s two-way presence is expected to play a major role in New York’s postseason success. His combination of perimeter defense and improved offensive production has made him one of the team’s most reliable options down the stretch of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The All-Star Starter missed 15 games but was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-miles-mcbride-joins-jalen-brunson-injury-returns-ny">back in the New York Knicks’ lineup</a> Sunday night to play against the Phoenix Suns.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-kevin-durant-out-one-week-ankle-injury">Kevin Durant missing the game</a> set the stage for Brunson and Devin Booker to reignite their duels from the Suns-Mavericks days. OG Anunoby had other plans.</p><p>The versatile forward started out strong with a nine-point first quarter. He led the Knicks in scoring in the frame and was bested only by Devin Booker, who had 11 for the Suns. The second quarter was quiet for Anunoby, who played seven of the 12 minutes but only took one shot – a three-pointer – that he missed.</p><p>Then the proverbial switch flipped at halftime.</p><p>Anunoby didn’t miss a shot in the third quarter. He contributed 19 points and a rebound in nine minutes. He took seven shots, five of them three-pointers, and made each one.</p><p>Knicks Head Coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters after the game that Anunoby’s three-point explosion was the result of the team’s ball movement.</p><p>“When the ball moves, the game becomes easy,” Thibodeau remarked. “But you have to have a balance, you have to understand how important it is to get easy baskets, and if you’re getting easy baskets off the defense, that helps a lot.”</p><p>The coach explained how every Knick player can benefit from ‘trusting the pass,’ telling reporters that it all comes down to his signature adage of letting the defense tell you what to do on offense.</p><p>“If you’re in the half-court,” Thibodeau added, “if you’re executing and you’re playing for each other…if they’re trapping somebody, you can play off that.”</p><h2><b>OG Anunoby helps Knicks shine brighter than Suns</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/How-the-game-became-easy-for-Knicks-OG-Anunoby-in-three-point-barrage-vs.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks’ biggest lead was 19, one they held with 11:51 left in the fourth quarter. But it wasn’t smooth sailing to the final buzzer from there.</p><p>Soon after, the Suns ripped off a 17-4 run and eventually pulled within six. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Devin Booker – who scored 34 points in the first three quarters – had yet to score in the final frame.</p><p>He was then fouled on two jumpshots, one of them a three-pointer, and brought Phoenix within five points with three minutes remaining. But Booker only scored once more after that. He tallied 40 points for the evening, but the 13-4 Knick run in the game’s final three minutes sealed it.</p><p>The Knicks will stay in town and get set to face the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. They were at full-strength for tonight’s game and hope it stays that way through the postseason. But Anunoby doesn’t seem to have cooled down from <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6254312/2025/04/04/nba-trends-giannis-playmaking-og-anunoby-fouls/" rel="noopener">his offensive hot streak</a> in Brunson’s absence.</p><p>Thibodeau laid out the team’s formula for success when at full strength simply.</p><p>“We have a number of guys that are good attacking downhill, so we play off that,” Thibodeau shared postgame. “And then you have the responsibility of making deep paint decisions, so when you get there, if you have a good angle to the basket, go. If the second defender’s there, spray. And that’s why we say just read the game and everyone play for each other. And when that happens, good things come from it.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The win improved the Knicks’ record to 41-23 as they continue their push toward securing a strong position in the Eastern Conference playoff race.</p><p>OG Anunoby delivered a standout performance, finishing with 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and five steals. According to StatsMuse, Anunoby <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1899323240222282124" rel="noopener">became the first</a> Knicks player since Nate Robinson in 2009 to record at least 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and five steals in a single game. His all-around effort on both ends of the floor played a major role in New York’s emphatic win.</p><p>Anunoby is in his ninth NBA season and second with the Knicks, continues to establish himself as a key contributor on both ends of the floor. Through 58 games this season, the 27-year-old is averaging 16.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 47% from the field and 36.5% from three-point range. His ability to impact the game offensively and defensively has made him an essential piece for New York, particularly in the absence of Jalen Brunson.</p><h2><b>OG Anunoby steps up as Knicks navigate road trip without Jalen Brunson</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/OG-Anunoby-8-looks-to-pass-the-ball-against-Sacramento-Kings-forward-Trey-Lyles-41.jpg"><figcaption>© Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In recent weeks, Anunoby has taken on an even greater role, elevating his production to help stabilize the Knicks amid injuries and a tough stretch of games. Over his last five contests, he has increased his averages to 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 44.7% from the field and 38.6% from beyond the arc. His scoring surge, combined with his defensive versatility, has provided a much-needed boost as the Knicks navigate a challenging Western Conference road trip.</p><p>New York will continue to lean on Anunoby and others as they remain without Jalen Brunson, who suffered a right ankle sprain in the team’s overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-jalen-brunson-out-vs-clippers-injury-status-unknown">Brunson is expected to miss at least one to two weeks</a>.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/schedule/upcoming">Knicks will continue their five-game road trip with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers</a> (28-38) on Wednesday before concluding the trip against the Golden State Warriors (37-28) on Saturday night. With Brunson sidelined, Anunoby’s expanded role will be critical in maintaining the team’s momentum as they look to build on their recent victory.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
