OG Anunoby has played a total of 528 minutes over his first 15 games with New York. Incredibly, the Knicks have outscored their opponents by 282 points in those 528 minutes. +282 is the highest plus/minus by any player in NBA history over his first 15 games with a new team.

Hart's streak of 9 straight games with 40-plus minutes will end with him playing 39:04 and putting up 20 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists.
Josh Hart was pumping his fist as the crowd gave him a standing ovation, but I'm pretty confident he was just celebrating that his streak of eight straight 40-minute games has officially come to an end. He'll finish tonight's game with 39.
josh hart’s playing out of his damn mind
After 3: Knicks 87, Sixers 61 The only question left in this one is whether Tyrese Maxey, making his return from a concussion, will get some more minutes as New York has steadily pulled away. Josh Hart already has a triple-double, Jalen Brunson has 20, OG Anunoby 14 for NYK.

Great start for the Pacers. 11-2. Perhaps they’ve put those slow starts behind
Knicks didn't get their 26th point until there were about 3 1/2 minutes remaining in the first half on Sunday, so a 26-14 lead after one quarter of the rematch with the 76ers is pretty good progress.
After 1: Knicks 26, Sixers 14 OG Anunoby has an immediate impact in his return for NYK, with 5 quick points as New York's starters jumped out to an early lead. Good start for Tyrese Maxey, too, with 10 first quarter points. The rest of the team, though, is 2-for-10 overall.
