Raptors Have Had Knicks' Number Over the Years
The Toronto Raptors’ franchise turnaround has been something to behold over the last few years, and Canada’s lone NBA club has an attempt to secure their second straight 50-win season tonight vs the New York Knicks.
Toronto’s 96-94 win over Miami in their home finale was their 10th win in 12 games and put them in sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference in the final days of the regular season. Kyle Lowry returned from a wrist injury on Wednesday and turned into a 27-point effort, but he a much more subdued game against the Heat thanks to 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting.
The Knicks have had a brutal season across the board and they’re simply going through the motions at this point. A lot of the Knicks’ players are dealing with injuries right now, but Carmelo Anthony is expected to play in this one after sitting out against Memphis.
The Raps have dominated this series of late, collecting six wins in a row over New York.
