Those struggles quickly arrived back in the second quarter with Dallas expanding their lead to 21 points before the half. Naji Marshall led all scorers for Dallas with 14 in the first half, while the Knicks shot just 26% from the field. Jalen Brunson led the scoring for New York with 16 in the first half while going 5-10 from the field.

The New York groove has been far from an effective duet this season but OG Anunoby is still dancing for the New York Knicks. The Knicks' lack of two-way game has been well apparent in the early going and it was at its not-so-purest display in Saturday's 121-106 loss to the lowly Utah Jazz.

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.
