OG Anunoby, the Knicks defender who was on Tatum before he broke loose for the equalizing triple, took the blame for not fouling the Boston sharpshooter when he had the chance. “I should have fouled," Anunoby lamented in a report from Ian Begley of SNY.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby believes that he's worthy of 2025 Defensive Player of the Year recognition. "I think I should be on First Team All-Defense. I think I should win Defensive Player of the Year,” Anunoby said, per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. “I’ve always felt that way."

New York's OG Anunoby continued the surge he began during Jalen Brunson's absence Sunday night, when Anunoby welcomed Brunson back to the Knicks' lineup by scoring 32 points in a 112-98 win over the visiting Phoenix Suns.
