The Knicks picked up their second consecutive win, defeating the Phoenix Suns 112-98 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
Here are the takeaways…
– Jalen Brunson returned after missing the previous 15 games with a right ankle sprain. The superstar point guard had a relatively quiet night but he stepped up when the Knicks needed it the most, knocking down a massive three late to help stave off a Suns comeback attempt.
He finished 3-of-9 from the field with 15 points and six assists in 34 minutes of action.
– After a back and forth first quarter, it was Karl-Anthony Towns who helped New York create some separation during the second. The big man was having his way with the Phoenix defense, producing 11 of his 19 points during the frame. He was relatively quiet from there but also finished with 13 rebounds.
– The Suns’ offense was struggling, but Devin Booker was doing everything he could to keep them in it. The star guard has loved playing against the Knicks throughout his career and he finished with a game-high 40 points on 16 of 29 shooting from the field.
– Just when it looked like Booker was going to take things over, OG Anunoby said not tonight. Anunoby continued his offensive outburst, knocking down all seven shots he took (six threes) during a monster third quarter, to help him finish with a team-high 32 points on 13-of-17 shooting.
– Anunoby’s surge helped the Knicks open their largest lead of the game, but Phoenix refused to go away. Led by Booker and Bradley Beal (16 points) they were able to get back within three, but clutch buckets down the stretch helped New York pull out their 50th win of the season. It’s the first time they’ve reached that mark since 1995.
– Miles McBride also returned from an eight game absence that was due to a groin injury and he provided a nice spark off the bench. The backup point guard knocked down three of the six shots he took for eight points and also dished out a pair of assists.
Game MVP: OG Anunoby
Anunoby continues to develop into an offensive weapon for the Knicks.
