The Knicks had maintained the same winning percentage without OG Anunoby as they had posted with him this season, but they gladly welcomed back their top defensive wing for Friday night’s game.

Anunoby scored 11 points in a restricted 23 minutes in his return from a strained left hamstring in a 146-112 blowout win over the Jazz at the Garden.

“It’s been no fun, unfortunate, but just tried to help any way possible, to be positive and talk to my teammates,” Anunoby said after the game. “I [want to have] explosive moments, [get] conditioning, get back to my normal self.”
