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.

OG Anunoby is known for his defense. That's what tends to happen when you make an All-Defensive team and win a steals title, and he hasn't missed a beat since joining the New York Knicks. He leads all perimeter players with 7.

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.
