Takeaways
Knicks: Before the game, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said that getting offensive rebounds would be key to victory. Towns’s dominance on the boards gave New York many second or third chances and helped them reel in Toronto.
Raptors: Solid defence and efficient scoring in the first half saw Toronto lead by as much as many as 12 points. But poor ball possession — the Raptors turned the ball over eight times in the third quarter — led to a 13-0 Knicks run and New York finished the third with a 12-point lead heading into the final quarter.
Key moment
Bridges scored 11 consecutive points in the final 2:36 of the third quarter as New York jumped out to a 12-point lead.
Key stat
Toronto dropped to 0-8 against the Knicks since trading Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa to New York for Barrett and Immanuel Quickley on Dec. 30, 2023.
