Bane then nailed Anunoby with the ball as the Knicks player went out of bounds. Technically, the ball was out of bounds for the Knicks. Anunoby stood up and was as perplexed as everyone else watching the game. He pushed Bane as he stood up. Bane received a technical foul.
New York won the game 106-100. Bane and Anunoby appeared to chat and kissed after the match.
