After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Raptors 97-75. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
