Knicks OG Anunoby continues unbelievable offensive tear to capture career-first mark

The Knicks didn’t have to lean on Jalen Brunson because the star version of OG Anunoby resumed Sunday.Anunoby dropped 32 points on ridiculous efficiency — 13-of-17 shooting from the field — continuing the best stretch of his career in a 112-98 win over the Suns.He’s scored at least 20 points in 10 straight games for the first time.“I don’t think I’m in a zone,” Anunoby said.“I think I’m always capable.”There were questions as to whether Anunoby would take a step back with Brunson returning from a monthlong injury absence.

All season, but he really stepped up recently and he’s just doing what he does.That’s what we expect of him,” Brunson said.

“Everyone knew what he could do defensively.Offensively I think he’s taken a step forward just the way he’s been playing.

He’s always had that and I think he’s been showcasing it.”Brunson wasn’t the only Knick returning from a long absence Sunday.Miles McBride also played against the Suns after missing eight games because of a groin issue, marking the first time the 24-year-old appeared in more than two weeks.He scored eight points in 16 minutes off the bench, then explained what was holding up his come...
