Anunoby’s momentum sent him into the scorer’s table near New York’s bench, though he was able to prevent himself from falling into the seats.

The Oscar winner took to Instagram Thursday and thanked Anunoby for providing her a “bucket-list moment.”
“I almost got crashed into last night,” Hathaway, a Brooklyn native, said in an Instagram reel as she talked over Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' “Empire State Of Mind.”
“I always wanted that to happen,” she added. “Thanks, OG.”

Anunoby, who’s known as a man of few words, hilariously replied in the comments by simply saying, “you’re welcome.”
His reply had over 32,00 likes, including from Hathaway, as of Friday afternoon.
