OG Anunoby, Knicks and Celtics
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.
Cunningham, who torched the Knicks in the regular season for over 30 points per game on 50% shooting from both the field and three-point range, struggled under Anunoby’s blanket coverage in the
Jalen Brunson duels with Jayson Tatum before the Knicks' duo of Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby shine down the stretch.
OG Anunoby hasn’t just prevented the Celtics from scoring. They’ve avoided taking shots altogether when matched up against him.
