OG Anunoby earned record Knicks contract with Game 1 takeover
NY Post
BOSTON — The Knicks were dead in the water, a floundering fish. They trailed by 20 midway through the third quarter and carried the weight of not only facing the defending champions but also that winless record in the regular season against the NBA’s top teams.
The Knicks could’ve easily folded. They probably should’ve folded given the circumstances.
Full disclosure: I expected them to fold. I was crafting a story around a 1-0 series deficit.
Then OG Anunoby took over.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
