The Knicks didn\u2019t have to lean on Jalen Brunson because the star version of OG Anunoby resumed Sunday.<\/p>\n
Anunoby dropped 32 points on ridiculous efficiency \u2014 13-of-17 shooting from the field \u2014 continuing the best stretch of his career in a 112-98 win over the Suns.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s scored at least 20 points in 10 straight games for the first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m in a zone,\u201d Anunoby said. \u201cI think I\u2019m always capable.\u201d<\/p>\n
There were questions as to whether Anunoby would take a step back with Brunson returning from a monthlong injury absence. <\/p>\n
It was a natural concern since Brunson is so ball-dominant and Anunoby\u2019s usage rate goes down with the point guard on the court.<\/p>\n
Coach Tom Thibodeau pushed back hard at that premise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat notion is a bunch of garbage. \u2026 He\u2019s all over the floor. That\u2019s how he\u2019s scoring,\u201d Thibodeau said after Saturday\u2019s win in Atlanta. \u201cThat\u2019s the way everyone\u2019s scoring. \u2026 That\u2019s a bunch of excuse making and that\u2019s the way I see it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anunoby followed with a diverse offensive game, including a 360-degree jam in the final minute. He\u2019s been the Knicks\u2019 best player for a month.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, he was tasked with guarding Phoenix\u2019s best player \u2014 Devin Booker, who exploded for 40 points \u2014 while leading the offense.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been playing unbelievable these past couple of weeks. All season, but he really stepped up recently and he\u2019s just doing what he does. That\u2019s what we expect of him,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cEveryone knew what he could do defensively. Offensively I think he\u2019s taken a step forward just the way he\u2019s been playing. He\u2019s always had that and I think he\u2019s been showcasing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brunson wasn\u2019t the only Knick returning from a long absence Sunday.<\/p>\n
Miles McBride also played against the Suns after missing eight games because of a groin issue, marking the first time the 24-year-old appeared in more than two weeks.<\/p>\n
He scored eight points in 16 minutes off the bench, then explained what was holding up his comeback.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously if you watch me, I\u2019m explosive on both ends of the ball. I just really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and cutting and being explosive,\u201d McBride said.<\/p>\n
McBride played his usual role as the first guard off the bench and as part of the first Knicks team at virtually full strength in over a month. <\/p>\n
Mitchell Robinson, who rested during Saturday\u2019s win over the Hawks, Cam Payne, who was listed as probable before Sunday\u2019s tipoff because of a sprained ankle, and Karl-Anthony Towns, who has been dealing with finger and knee ailments, were also active.<\/p>\n
The only injured and inactive Knicks player was rookie Ariel Hukporti, who is done for the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good to have everyone out there again,\u201d Thibodeau said.<\/p>\n
With the Knicks on the brink of locking up the third seed (they need a win or a Pacers loss), Thibodeau indicated he won\u2019t change the approach \u2014 i.e., start resting players \u2014 once the position is clinched.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not skipping over anything. And this is the approach we\u2019ve taken all season long,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to change now, so we think this\u2019ll help prepare us for what\u2019s down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
