A sellout Madison Square Garden crowd has its sights set on one player: Desmond Bane, the Orlando Magic star who has drawn the ire of an entire building in the span of two seconds.

There’s just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter of an eventual 106-100 Knicks victory over the Magic, and Jalen Suggs has chased down OG Anunoby to block his fast break layup off the backboard.

Suggs is not whistled for a foul, but Anunoby tumbles out of bounds. The ball does not follow him. Instead, it bounces in a straight line up towards the bottom of the net.

And then, the most unnecessary bit of all hell breaks loose: Bane, who is in complete control of his momentum, grabs the ball and spikes it into Anunoby’s back. Anunoby is out of bounds, so now the ball is, too, off of him.

But Bane’s spike isn’t the average throw to knock the ball off of someone. It’s a full-throttle volleyball spike from the NBA’s closest thing to a bodybuilder.

“That was one of the funniest things I saw on the basketball court, dog,” Josh Hart says after the game. “I was laughing the whole time. I couldn’t help myself.”

Anunoby immediately rises to his feet and meets Bane face-to-face. He shoves the Magic guard as players and officials separate the two from one another.

“When I saw him, he seemed like frustrated,” Mikal Bridges recalls at his locker. “But after a second, he was, ‘Like why did you do that?’ He was just trying to figure out why.”

But Anunoby’s poker face only lasts an instant. Mere seconds after players separate him from Bane, the Knicks star cracks a smile in Bane’s direction.

“I was confused. I was confused at first, and then it was funny,” he later explains at his locker. “I like Desmond, so I’m not mad at him.

“He’s a good dude. It was funny.”

A throw like that, though, from a player built like he eats Mack trucks for breakfast, will certainly leave a mark.

“He had the ball, and then he threw it off me. It was funny,” Anunoby says. “He threw it pretty hard, but it’s all good.”

It’s not all good. Not for the fans who’ve made Bane the new public enemy No. 1 at The Garden this season. Forget the fact that the Magic have already embarrassed the Knicks twice this year. One of their star players just tried to put a hole through a Knick’s back.

“Yeah after seeing it on the replay a couple times, I knew [the fans] were gonna get mad about it,” Bridges says.

The replay shows on the center-court Jumbotron in slow motion at least five times before officials assess Bane a technical foul for the play. The fans, however, want their pound of flesh. They want it back in blood.

So they boo him, mercilessly, every time he touches the ball the rest of the way.

“I don’t think it was gonna escalate, but it was hilarious,” says Hart. “I don’t even think OG was really mad. He was just like, ‘Yo, wassup?’”

Anunoby finishes his second game back from a hamstring injury with 21 points and seven rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting from the field and 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range. His production is a welcome sight for a Knicks team sorely missing his production in the two-plus weeks he spent sidelined due to injury.

“His presence on both sides of the floor. He has gravity on offense and on defense,” said team captain Jalen Brunson. “Not a lot of people have that in the NBA, and he’s one of them.”

Anunoby is back, and he’s back to frustrating opposing wings. Bane finished with 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field, his most impactful play coming from vaulting a ball off the star Knick’s back.

“I couldn’t really see it,” said Hart. “Most of the time I was looking at the replay and trying not to laugh. OG has his moments here and there, but that was hilarious.”
