The Knicks have hovered around the middle of the pack in points allowed per possession all season, but Anunoby is the group’s backbone. New York doesn’t play with a conventional rim protector. Instead it’s on him, along with the other two starting wings, Bridges and Josh Hart, to lock down the perimeter.
The easy retort for Thibodeau and his supporters has been the best one: look at the record. The Knicks were a dysfunctional mess when he arrived. In the first four seasons, he has led the franchise to three playoff berths including two straight trips to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Saturday’s Knicks victory was delayed for about 10 minutes because of a bent rim that was actually straight. Apparently Mikal Bridges jump-started an early fourth quarter investigation by telling the officials the rim was askew as he was taking free throws. The thought was that a previous dunk from OG Anunoby had shifted the metal circle.
Coming off a victory over Sacramento on Saturday that saw the Knicks put three wins together for the first time since they won nine consecutive matchups through December, the lads will be back in action tonight.
The Knicks-Kings game on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden was delayed 10 minutes to check if there was a rim malfunction. During the second half, OG Anunoby hung on the rim after a ferocious dunk that appeared to force it to go crooked.
Things got off to a hot start for New York with a 38-25 first-quarter lead thanks to the sharp shooting of Anunoby, and the all-purpose work of Hart. New York was tested in the second quarter alone with a 42-34 run by the Kings. Malik Monk led the way for Sacramento with 31 points on 12/21 shooting.
