Fred Katz: Jalen Brunson on what makes OG Anunoby a great defender: “I don’t know. The dude’s just a freak of nature. I’m watching the same thing you guys are watching. Just like, “Oh, wow! Mmm. OK.’”

Loud ovation for Isaiah Hartenstein as he checks out after 20 rebounds (7 offensive), 5 blocks and 10 points. Hartenstein helped lift NYK to 16-point win over shorthanded Bulls. Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson combined for 66 pts on 55% shooting vs CHI. Brunson added 13 assists. – 10:56 PM

OG Anunoby is a handsy kinda player. Seems like he always has them moving, or he can just reach around guys sometimes with that wingspan, like he did to jar the ball loose on that last Knicks offensive possession. – 10:36 PM

There it is: Tom Thibodeau signals over to Jalen Brunson, who subs in at the 9:43 mark of the fourth quarter. He will log 40 minutes tonight after logging 41 against the Wolves. 81 minutes in the 2 games since Immanuel Quickley & RJ Barrett were traded to TOR. – 10:25 PM

After 3: Knicks 86, Bulls 78
New York flips this one around in the third, and gives itself a chance to get a second straight win after the OG Anunoby acquisition behind 23 points each from Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. – 10:22 PM

Jalen Brunson has logged 30 minutes at the end of the third quarter. It’s an 8-point game, so it’s safe to assume a Bulls run could send him back to the court early in the fourth. Brunson logged 41 minutes in the win over the Wolves.
This is not sustainable. – 10:20 PM

The ball movement with OG Anunoby, Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein around Brunson, Randle has been very good. Or as Thibodeau says, “Drive pass pass pass” – 8:51 PM

I have entered the NBA confessional…I admit to one and all I was wrong about Jalen Brunson. Did I think he was an NBA player? Unequivocally-YES. Did I think he was going to be THIS good? No, I did not. He has become a fabulous All Star player. Credit Jalen for his hard work – 10:46 AM

More on this storyline
Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson took care of things on the scoreboard while Isaiah Hartenstein brilliantly manned the interior as Knicks stayed unbeaten in the OG Anunoby era to the tune of a 116-100 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Randle (35) and Burnson (31) each scored at least 30 points for the first time this season with the latter pairing his tally with 13 assists. Hartenstein posted the first 20-rebound of his career and also swatted away five Chicago attempts. -via Sports Illustrated / January 3, 2024
Brian Mahoney: OG Anunoby, who just arrived in New York yesterday, will be in the starting lineup today against the Timberwolves. -via Twitter @briancmahoney / January 1, 2024
Tim Bontemps: Wolves coach Chris Finch, who was with OG Anunoby for half a season in Toronto, said he saw him guard “Steph Curry one night, and Joel Embiid the next” and that he’s one of the most impactful defensive players in the league. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / January 1, 2024
Kristian Winfield: Tom Thibodeau on Jalen Brunson’s minutes: “He’s fine. 38 minutes. That’s what these guys play.” -via Twitter @Krisplashed / January 4, 2024
Tommy Beer: Over the 66 regular season games he played in 2023, Jalen Brunson averaged: 26.9 points per game (on 49.5% shooting) 5.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds 2.6 three-pointers He was the only player in the entire league to average > 26 PPG and > 2.5 treys and shoot > 49% from the floor. -via Twitter @TommyBeer / January 2, 2024
