The New York Knicks dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night with a 137–114 victory at Madison Square Garden, improving their record to 5–3 and keeping their unbeaten home streak alive.
While OG Anunoby had an impressive performance, online fans were misled by a viral fake post that exaggerated his stats. The post falsely claimed that Anunoby achieved a historic line of 60 points, 32 rebounds, and 14 steals plus blocks during the game.
“OG Anunoby tonight: 60 points, 32 rebounds, 8 steals, 6 blocks, 22–25 FG. Decent night.”
In reality, Anunoby scored 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds, and made two steals—an excellent showing, but nowhere near the numbers circulating online. The forged post on X attracted more than one million views by Thursday morning, confusing many fans about his actual performance.
The sports world recently saw another milestone when Kings guard Russell Westbrook set an unprecedented record for NBA guards, marking another memorable week in basketball.
