“It was pretty cool watching the momentum swing, watching history in New York City,” Tyree told the Post.
Perhaps Tyree, a miracle-maker in his time with the Giants, sensed something inexplicable was in the offing.
It was more than pretty cool when OG Anunoby soared in and, with what teammate Karl Anthony Towns later described as a “right hand from God,” completed a wondrous tip-in of Jalen Brunson’s miss off the front rim with 1.2 seconds remaining, providing the winning points in an unprecedented 107-106 victory to give the Knicks what turned into an insurmountable 3-1 series lead.
“As this thing gets tipped right in, I’m just jaw-dropped because I just believed they were going to win,“ Tyree said. “I’m part of the mob, in my mind. I’m wrecked, I’m just completely wrecked.”
