Raptors had a real chance to take firm control of the 3rd seed in the East and squandered it. To be fair to them; they played the Knicks tough at first. Their defense was doing a tremendous job shutting down the Knicks, Brunson especially, and their offense, while not great, was doing just enough. The game was close going into halftime. If the Raptors offense just played a little bit better or the defense generated more turnovers, they could take this one. Instead, they played absolutely pitifully. This was best characterized by the 27-4 run the Knicks had in the last 8 minutes of the 3rd to cap off a 35-19 quarter. Bridges accounted for 19 of those points and it completely shifted momentum in New York’s favour. KAT was a monster and overpowered CMB on the boards and OG was a beast on both sides of the floor, especially when guarding Brandon Ingram. The 4th quarter was a formality and really frustrating to watch. Knicks did a great job swarming the Raptors and Toronto paid the price.
