Knicks' OG Anunoby: Cools off offensively in Game 5
Rotowire
Anunoby contributed 11 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Anunoby was the hero of Game 4. However, he wasn't as productive or efficient in Game 5, going 3-for-11 from the field and 0-for-2 from deep. Still, despite the subpar offensive performance, the 28-year-old was instrumental in helping the Knicks claim their first championship since 1973. As expected, Anunoby had a quality 2025-26 campaign, averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.6 steals in 67 regular-season appearances. He also shot higher than 38.0 percent from deep for the sixth time in his career. Anunoby is committed to New York for two more seasons, though it could be more if he accepts a player option in 2028-29. With that in mind, unless the Knicks get a substantial offer, he is expected to remain in the Big Apple, where he is projected to see plenty of minutes as a starter moving ahead.
Anunoby supplied 33 points (10-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 41 minutes in Wednesday's 107-106 win over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Anunoby finished second on the Knicks in scoring with an extremely efficient performance, and he put back a game-winning tip-in off a missed Jalen Brunson three-pointer in the closing seconds. Brunson and Anunoby combined for 69 points as New York rallied from a 29-point deficit. The 28-year-old forward has been outstanding this postseason, scoring 17 or more points in six straight games and at least 28 points in each of the last two. Anunoby and the Knicks will now turn their attention to Saturday's Game 5 in San Antonio, where they'll look to secure the franchise's first championship since 1973.
Anunoby provided 28 points (9-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 115-111 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Anunoby scored 28 points, eclipsing 20 points for just the second time in his past seven games. With that said, he has been arguably the most consistent player for the Knicks this postseason, averaging 18.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in his past seven appearances.
