He had a shot goaltended again and was fouled on the play and made the FT. He then buried a three:

With less than a minute left, Obi called for the ball and handed it off to seldom-used Theo Pinson for an open three...which he missed. That right there is a good teammate.
In 19 minutes, Obi had 10 points on 4-5 shooting (the two goaltends helped], 5 boards and 3 TO in a 33 point NY loss.

The NY Post was not as positive: “ The collapse started with pair of bad plays by rookie Obi Toppin. The Knicks’ 2020 lottery pick allowed Antetokounmpo to score over him inside. Then on the other end, Toppin threw a short pass right to Milwaukee’s Donte DiVincenzo, who raced in for a fast-break dunk and ratched up the momentum.”
