After Action Report
The Raptors stunned the Knicks 105-101. The Raptors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
