About this episode
The New York Knicks torch the Utah Jazz with a historic 23-0 run to open the game as OG Anunoby’s return reignites the starting lineup. Can this revamped rotation signal a new level of dominance at Madison Square Garden? Gavin Schall and Kris Pursiainen spotlight Deuce McBride’s red-hot shooting surge—dropping 7 threes and boasting a 46% clip from deep—and break down OG Anunoby’s game-changing defensive impact that instantly steadied the Knicks. The conversation dives into the chemistry of the reunited starting five, sharp in-game adjustments from coach Mike Brown, and the psychological boost of imposing “Thunder-esque” control over weaker opponents. With playoff aspirations looming, Knicks fans are left wondering: will Deuce’s emergence and OG’s presence push New York into the East’s elite?
