"I inbounded the ball to Jalen (Brunson).

He got a pretty good look, and I just went and crashed, trying to get a tip-dunk or something.

The ball went over my head, so I couldn't really dunk it. So I just tried to tip it in softly, and it went in," ujar Anunoby.

Aksi penyelamatan di detik-detik akhir tersebut langsung memicu pujian dari rekan setimnya, Josh Hart. "I got a special shoutout for OG because he saved me.

At least for this game but he saved me a lifetime of regret," tutur Hart.

Saat diwawancarai langsung di dalam lapangan sesaat setelah membawa Knicks unggul 3-1, Anunoby memberikan tanggapan singkat mengenai perasaannya.

"It feels cool," ucapnya.
