Slowing down Victor Wembanyama required the special OG touch. With about 6 ¹/₂ minutes remaining and the Knicks trailing by 5, Tom Thibodeau ignored the size difference and stuck his best defender — OG Anunoby — on the red-hot Wembanyama.

A nearly flawless OG Anunoby and the surging Knicks posted their ninth win in their past 11 games heading into a Christmas matinee.

Jalen Brunson had 26 points and nine assists, Josh Hart added 23 points and 13 rebounds and the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to six games with a 108-85 win over the Orlando Magic.

The Washington Wizards' Jonas Valanciunas will be in high demand. He's making just $9.9 million this season, making him more than affordable for his output. Speaking of his output, he's averaging 11.6 points and eight rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game. And he's been incredibly durable of late, having started all 82 games last season.

OG Anunoby scored 31 points on 13-of-15 shooting from the floor against his former team as the New York Knicks cruised to their fourth consecutive win with 139-125 defeat of the visiting Toronto Raptors on Monday.

Jalen Brunson erupted for 55 points -- 42 after the first half -- as the Knicks won their seventh straight game Saturday night against the Washington Wizards. But the bigger picture is that the Knicks (22-10) became the first team to have four different guys score 40+ in a game before Jan. 1, via the MSG Network.

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau praises Jalen Brunson doing whatever it takes to win despite struggling on the offensive side of the ball against the Raptors. OG Anunoby discusses how weird it is to go up against his former team and is looking forward to his first Christmas Day game as a Knick.

Anunoby scored 29 points while shooting 13-of-15 from the field as the New York Knicks beat the Toronto Raptors 139-125. He went 4-of-6 from behind the three-point arc and didn't miss a single one ...

Karl-Anthony Towns had 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, OG Anunoby also scored 31 points and shot 13 for 15 from the field, and the New York Knicks beat the Toronto Raptors 139-125 on Monday night.

But where the game turned in the holiday matinee was where it so often does for the Knicks — when the defensive prowess of OG Anunoby once again made Tom Thibodeau’s heart grow three sizes. In this case, it avoided the Knicks coach turning into the Grinch.
