Not all teams are created equal.
After the Toronto Raptors’ 116-101 win over the New York Knicks, it’s hard to tell if the wide margin of victory was caused by Toronto or New York. The Raptors were impressive, with six players scoring in double digits, five of which did so after the second quarter. But, the Knicks were almost embarrassingly bad during stretches of the game, particularly when their starters were on the floor.
If Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose are actually still really good at basketball when they want to be, tonight clearly wasn’t a night deemed worth the effort.
