OG Anunoby’s ‘wild stuff’ on defense proving to be ‘invaluable’ for Knicks
NY Post
HOUSTON — Andrew Nembhard blew past Jalen Brunson and was greeted by a bear attack.
OG Anunoby, as he often does on the perimeter, left his assignment and lunged at Nembhard with a swift, two-handed swipe generated from a wrestler’s crouch.
“He pounces,” Josh Hart said. “He’s in a gap. He anticipates. I’ve never seen anything like that.”
Nembhard, a Pacers guard, wanted no part of Anunoby in the second quarter of last week’s Knicks victory.
He retreated with his dribble, taking a couple steps behind the 3-point line before abandoning all plans of testing that side of the defense.
Nembhard switched to a pick-and-roll with Karl-Anthony Towns’ man, Myles Turner, and the sequence ended with an Indiana turnover.
