After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Raptors 102-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
