OG Anunoby, Knicks and Celtics
Digest more
New York, 52 years since their last NBA title, are now one game away from ending defending champion the Celtics’ season.
Both Mazzulla and Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau pointed to the lack of Celtics turnovers preventing easy transition points for Anunoby. The Celtics committed just eight turnovers, and the Knicks had just eight fast break points.
Anunoby exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent hamstring injury during the first quarter of Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
The New York Knicks are in the midst of an unprecedented run through the NBA playoffs, but the big talk of the upcoming offseason will be the availability of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo on the market.
