"After going 04 against the East's top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers last season, the New York Knicks snapped their regular-season skid versus the conference juggernauts with a 119111 win on opening night. Even without key pieces Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, the Knicks controlled the game for long stretches. Cleveland punched back with multiple runs, but New York answered and closed it out at the buzzer."
"OG steps up On a night when All-NBA duo Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns shot a combined 10-for-30, OG Anunoby delivered a much-needed offensive lift. The defensive ace did his usual work three steals and one block but impressed on the other end with 24 points on an efficient 9-for-17 shooting, including 4-for-9 from three. The most impressive part: his work on glass."
