NEW YORK — When it came time to explain how the Knicks contained Cade Cunningham — what their game plan was — Josh Hart was concise.
“Yeah, OG Anunoby,” the Knicks guard said Saturday night after New York blew past Detroit in Game 1 of their first-round series. “OG Anunoby, man.”
It was, of course, more nuanced than that. But in New York’s 123-112 victory, which was fueled by a 21-0 Knicks run in the fourth quarter, Anunoby did indeed take the lead on Cunningham, Detroit’s first-time NBA All-Star who is the Pistons' motor.
