OG Anunoby saved Knicks teammate Josh Hart from ‘a lifetime of regret’ in wild Game 4 finish

There isn’t a bigger OG Anunoby fan right now than Josh Hart.

Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left saved Hart from being the goat of the Knicks’ thrilling, 107-106 Game 4 victory of the NBA Finals.

“I’ve got a special shout-out for OG, man, because he saved me, at least for this game, a lifetime of regret,” Hart said after the Knicks set an NBA Finals record by rallying from a 29-point deficit.

With 1:57 left and the Knicks down by one point, Hart came up with a steal, but he blew the transition layup.

A few possessions later, he was beaten to a Stephon Castle offensive rebound and fouled the Spurs’ young guard. Castle sank two free throws with 30.3 seconds left to give San Antonio the lead. But Anunoby’s basket saved Hart.

“So I’m sitting there just hoping my guys make a play,” Hart said. “And OG, he’s been amazing since he’s got here. This whole playoff run, he’s been amazing on both ends of the ball. He’s a winning player and he made a winning play.”

It was an emotional victory for the Knicks, who went from getting run off the court to stunning the Spurs.

Hart was thrilled he was able to talk about where it ranks for him in terms of all-time moments in his career, instead of lamenting a few poorly-timed mistakes.

“I won a national championship in 2016. [Jalen Brunson] and [Mikal Bridges] will probably remind you that I only have one and they have two,” said Hart, who had six points, eight rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes on Wednesday night.

“So that night is No. 1. This one is definitely No. 2.”
