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. · Mar 1, 2025
