NEW YORK — OG Anunoby delivered a decisive late-game block on De’Aaron Fox on June 11, sparking a dramatic turnaround that carried the New York Knicks to an improbable victory.
The Knicks had been trailing when Fox, facing tight coverage, drove for what looked like a potential dagger. Anunoby stepped in, rejected the attempt and shifted the momentum squarely in New York’s favor. The stop set up the offense that completed the rally and ultimately sealed the game.
Fox’s choice to attack Anunoby in that moment was widely criticized as a “bonehead” and “baffling” decision, underscoring the swing in fortune that followed. Meanwhile, Anunoby’s defensive play highlighted the versatility the forward has brought to the Knicks’ lineup, providing a signature moment in a win that had seemed out of reach only seconds earlier.
No additional details on the final score or remaining time were immediately available, but the block stood out as the clear turning point in a comeback the Knicks labeled nothing short of miraculous.
