Digest more
Anunoby is performing at a clip only a few ex-Hoosiers have reached in the NBA Playoffs. In seven games for the New York Knicks, Anunoby is averaging 19 points and 4.7 rebounds. He’s also made 43.8% of his shots, including 39.6% from 3-point range, as well hitting at an 88% clip at the free throw line.
OG Anunoby didn’t follow the Knicks’ winning formula. He was extremely passive for the second straight game, finishing with just two points on 1-for-6 shooting in the 115-93 Game 3 loss to the Celtics on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
At the time the New York Knicks finally acquired OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors, he was second in the NBA in defensive half-court matchups against All-stars from the previous year, only second to Mikal Bridges. Now the Knicks have both of them.
