Knicks’ OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson dominating when on floor together
NY Post
It’s less than a quarter of a full season, just 20 games.
But the numbers when OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson share the floor together are staggering.
With Friday night’s win over the Nets, the Knicks are 18-2 when the duo plays together, have a net rating of plus-24.7 spanning 599 minutes and an offensive rating of 125.8.
Silly.
The Knicks’ lone losses with the two in the lineup were setbacks against the Bulls and Mavericks, both on the road by a combined 12 points.
The Dec. 30 trade with the Raptors, which sent RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley north of the border, has certainly worked wonders, even with Anunoby missing 27 games due to an elbow injury since his arrival.
