Hero

OG Anunboy’s tip-in of a Jalen Brunson missed 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left sent the Knicks to a dramatic comeback victory from 29 points down in the third quarter.

Anunoby scored 19 of his 33 points in the second half, and finished with seven made 3-pointers. Fans chanted, “OG, OG, OG” after the final horn and for several seconds afterwards. 

Zero

DeAaron Fox is going to live with this decision for a long time. On a Brunson miss with 14 seconds left, Fox retrieved the loose ball near midcourt and tried to score rather than holding the ball and forcing the Knicks to foul.

Anunoby blocked his shot and the Knicks gained possession. A mind-boggling mistake for a veteran. 

Unsung hero

Jalen Brunson refused to let go of the rope, even when so much was going wrong. He scored 36 points on 12-of-25 shooting, 19 in the second half, and played the final 24 minutes.
