"Any rust that New York Knicks stalwart OG Anunoby might have had from a three-week injury lay-off was clearly shaken off by his second game back on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. The forward posted 21 points in 27 while shooting 5-of-7 from three-point range in the Knicks' 106-100 victory in the Madison Square Garden matinee, ensuring they remain almost-unbeatable at home this season and exacting some revenge on the very same Magic team that is the only visiting squad to steal a victory from New York this season. Anunoby was a team-high plus-20 while on the floor, continuing to provide his trademark lockdown defense."
"The Knicks are now 13-1 at home, matching their best start at MSG since 1992-93. Only the defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder has a better mark at home in the NBA this season. Overall, New York (16-7) has won seven of its last eight games, and did so on Sunday without starting center Karl-Anthony Towns, who had been a game-time decision with left calf tightness. In his place, Mitchell Robinson was his usual menacing self on the boards, complementing eight points with 13 rebounds (eight on the offensive glass)."
OG Anunoby returned from a three-week injury layoff and scored 21 points in 27 minutes while shooting 5-of-7 from three in the Knicks' 106-100 win over the Orlando Magic. Anunoby finished a team-high plus-20 and provided trademark lockdown defense. New York improved to 13-1 at Madison Square Garden, matching their best start there since 1992-93, and stands 16-7 overall after winning seven of eight. Karl-Anthony Towns missed the game with left calf tightness, and Mitchell Robinson contributed eight points and 13 rebounds, including eight offensive boards. Jalen Brunson led the team with 30 points and nine assists, and Josh Hart added 17 points and 12 rebounds while Orlando suffered prolonged cold shooting in the second half.
