Lines Knicks Survive Anunoby Scare Go Up 2 0 O

The Knicks 76ers Game 2 matchup on Wednesday in New York came down to a frantic fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson posted 26 points as the New York Knicks outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers 108-102. New York takes a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal.

The Anunoby Exit Changes New York’s Calculus

OG Anunoby posted 24 points, five rebounds and four steals across 37 minutes before leaving injured. Paul George blocked OG Anunoby’s dunk attempt with 2:31 left in the game. OG Anunoby hopped off the court and did not return to the Knicks bench.

Knicks coach Mike Brown offered no diagnosis after the final buzzer. “It looked like OG Anunoby was hopping, but I don’t know anything,” coach Mike Brown told reporters. Knicks reporters noted OG Anunoby was absent from the locker room during the postgame availability window.

The Philadelphia 76ers led for nearly 60 percent of Game 2, keeping consistent pressure on the New York Knicks. New York executed a 9-0 fourth-quarter run to seal the 108-102 result. The series now shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3, with the Knicks holding a 2-0 cushion.
