The Knicks traded RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a second-round pick to the Raptors in exchange for OG Anunoby. New York fans were devastated to see two homegrown talents leave, especially because the trade came out of the blue. However, it didn't take long for Anunoby to prove he belonged in NYC.

New York roared out to an early 76-53 lead at the half thanks to shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from beyond the arc. Towns and Anunoby lead the way with a combined 41 points as well during that span. Those percentages persisted into the second half as well.
