Knicks bench goes ‘crazy’ after Precious Achiuwa’s poster dunk
NY Post
WASHINGTON — Jalen Brunson stuffed the boxscore with his double-nickel Saturday, but Precious Achiuwa was responsible for the most exciting — and most celebrated — play of the 136-132 overtime victory over the Wizards.
With about 10 minutes left in the second quarter, Achiuwa received a pass from Landry Shamet in transition and posterized Washington’s Kyshawn George with a soaring, one-handed jam.
The Knicks bench launched into a wild celebration, clearing the bench and surrounding a straight-faced Achiuwa.
“They were going crazy,” Achiuwa said. “I don’t know how they didn’t get a tech from that. Everybody was on the court. It was a cool moment.”
Achiuwa, who said he always tries to remain emotionless after dunks, finished with just three points in 19 minutes.
But he provided the top-10 plays moment.
