When OG Anunoby came to the Knicks, there were reports he had been disappointed by his limited role in Toronto’s offense. Many nights this season, he’s looked like a viable third option for New York. Tonight, he was numero uno. Quoth El_Roble: “OG the real MVP.”
The New York Knicks (10-7) dominated the Denver Nuggets (9-7) in the first half, shooting a scorching 62% from the field and building a 76-53 lead, thanks to Karl-Anthony Towns’ 21 points and OG Anunoby’s 20. New York overwhelmed Denver with superior ball movement (23 assists on 31 field goals), rebounding, and fast breaks, leaving the home team scrambling.
