After Action Report
In Toronto, the Knicks handled the Raptors 117-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
