It\u2019s all business for Anunoby, who is now a two-time NBA champion, having won his first title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors<a class=\"maisdio-link\" href=\"#\" data-sport=\"nba\" data-team=\"20000010\" data-name=\"Toronto Raptors\" data-track-content=\"\" data-content-name=\"mai-sportsdataio-link\" data-content-piece=\"Toronto Raptors\"><\/a>, although he did not play in that NBA Finals series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Knicks did not win the NBA Finals just yet after Anunoby made the putback with 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation of that contest at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., but it was a clear turning point in the series. Without that shot, the Spurs very likely would have tied the series at 2-2, with Game 5 about to be played in San Antonio.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also worth noting, Anunoby\u2019s tip-in capped New York\u2019s unbelievable 107-106 comeback win, as the Knicks trailed by as many as 29 points at one point in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OG Anunoby seems to be done reliving his iconic tip-in shot in the 2026 NBA Finals.
