Knicks’ OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson dominating when on floor together
NY Post
It’s less than a quarter of a full season, just 20 games.
But the numbers when OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson share the floor together are staggering.
With Friday night’s win over the Nets, the Knicks are 18-2 when the duo plays together, have a net rating of plus-24.7 spanning 599 minutes and an offensive rating of 125.8.
Silly.
The Knicks’ lone losses with the two in the lineup were setbacks against the Bulls and Mavericks, both on the road by a combined 12 points.
The Dec. 30 trade with the Raptors, which sent RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley north of the border, has certainly worked wonders, even with Anunoby missing 27 games due to an elbow injury since his arrival.
PHILADELPHIA — The easy thing is to feed the beast. There is some rawness and some rancor in this series now. There are some hard feelings and some hurt egos. The Knicks are a team forged by ferocity, tempered by toughness, and now there is a silly sense in the air that if they don’t get even with Joel Embiid, Corleone-style, that maybe they aren’t as stolid as we thought.
WASHINGTON — The NHL’s Public Enemy No. 1 took a seat in his stall in the back corner of the room following his team’s optional practice Saturday and drew chuckles from the assembled audience by spinning a tale about being killed 68 times in Halo by Chris Kreider following the previous night’s Game 3.
