The fans at the Garden weren’t the only ones in attendance marveling at OG Anunoby’s unique defensive exploits in Thursday’s win over the Hornets.
Anunoby’s teammates on the Knicks essentially were chanting “OG, OG,” too, after a game in which he registered four steals and aentering Saturday’s home game against the Pistons. “He’s been OG since he’s been in the league. I’ve been watching him. Really dope.”
“I think plays like that unite and inspire the team. You can feel it. When a guy makes a great multiple effort, it’s inspiring to everyone. That gets you going. The energy that you get from that is huge. The blocked shots, diving on the floor, coming up with a steal, and actually that’s really what got us going. He blew up a couple of dribble hand-offs, we got a couple of easy baskets, and then we got going.
“I think he’s one of the best two-way players in the NBA. Defensively, offensively, he affects the game. I’m just glad that he’s getting this moment here in the Mecca in New York to show the world the talent that we all see.”OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks goes up a shot as Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets defends during the second quarter on Thursday.At the other end of the floor, the 27-year-old Anunoby is averaging career highs in points and minutes while shooting 39.
