OG Anunoby etched himself into the annals of New York sports history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anunoby scored the game-winning basket with a second left on the clock in a historic Knicks comeback to put them one win away from capturing their first championship since 1973.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Knicks star inbounded the ball with 5.7 seconds left in the game to Jalen Brunson, who quickly threw up a 3-pointer from deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anunoby came charging down the lane as soon as Brunson let the shot go and flew through the air to reach the ball to tip it back in with just 1.2 left on the clock to give the Knicks a 106-105 lead.<\/p>\n

The Garden erupted in pandemonium as ESPN broadcaster Mike Breen exclaimed, \u201cIt\u2019s good! It\u2019s good! It\u2019s good!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Spurs weren\u2019t able to answer back and the Knicks held on for the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJust do whatever it takes to win,\u201d Anunoby told ESPN about what was going through his mind during the play. \u201cOur thing is crashing the glass and second chance opportunities, so I just tried to make a play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Knicks had trailed by 28 points at halftime and didn\u2019t take their first lead until the last 1:22 left in the game when Brunson hit a floater.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re resilient, we never give up,\u201d Anunoby said. \u201cIt\u2019s a game of runs. They went on one early. We knew were going to go on our own run, so we just stayed with and kept pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n
