After Action Report
The Raptors demolished the Knicks 97-70. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Raptors are in a full-on tailspin; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
