May 25, 2025 had the inside track towards becoming one of Indianapolis sports’ most eventful weekends, given a trio that included the Eastern Conference Finals, a high-profile women’s basketball clash, and the 109th annual Indy 500. As confirmed through OG Anunoby and the New York Knicks, though, the path certainly wouldn’t come without a roadblock or two. Amped up for a critical late-game possession with New York sporting a once-unlikely four-point lead, Anunoby metamorphoses into a brick wall, barricading Aaron Nesmith’s path to the rim forcefully. Similar to that of an older brother battling a younger sibling in the family driveway, Anunoby closes with a good ‘ol fashioned “get that out of here,” positioning New York for a fruitful finish just four minutes later. 0-9 in Gainbridge Fieldhouse upon Game Three’s arrival, the Knicks displayed champion-like resilience, erasing a 20-point deficit during the season-saving win. Anunoby’s contribution arrived through 16 points (on just nine shots), and a two-rebound, two-assist, one-steal, three-block, four-triple complement. · May 26, 2025
