OG Anunoby’s Knicks start has been downright historic
NY Post
OG Anunoby is paying dividends for the Knicks that perhaps they didn’t even see coming.
The Knicks’ newest star continued his exemplary play in Tuesday’s 112-84 blowout win over the Trail Blazers with a team-best 23 points on 9-for-12 shooting with four made 3-pointers at Madison Square Garden.
All of that came as Anunoby became the first player in NBA history to have a plus/minus higher than plus-100 in his first five games with a new team.
Through five games with the Knicks, Anunoby has registered a plus-111 while New York has been a perfect 5-0 since they acquired him in a trade with the Raptors.
“I think it’s getting better and better every game,” Anunoby told MSG Network of how he’s jelling with his new team.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau expounded a little more on Anunoby’s success early on.

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.
