OG Anunoby’s elite defense could put him in rare Knicks company
NY Post
NEW ORLEANS — Before the Knicks’ annihilation of the Timberwolves began, Julius Randle was rage scoring.
He was picking apart Precious Achiuwa, scoring 15 points in the opening quarter as New York trailed by as many as seven.
It was clear Randle, angry and motivated to beat his former team, was going to force the issue. The Timberwolves were going to win or lose with him.
So Tom Thibodeau switched his defensive equalizer on Randle, forging Thursday’s 133-107 blowout Knicks victory.
When Achiuwa was the primary defender, Randle shot 5-for-7 with two assists and zero turnovers.
When OG Anunoby was the primary defender, Randle shot 1-for-6 with one assist, two turnovers and was frustratingly locked up.
