The Toronto Raptors welcomed new acquisition, Marc Gasol, to the line up as they faced off against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. The Raptors were happy to see that Gasol was available to play after the blockbuster trade, despite some last-minute paperwork that nearly wasn’t completed on the Memphis end.
Early on, the Knicks came out strong, taking an early lead, despite it being the second game of a back-to-back. The Raps were unable to match the Knicks energy, shooting only one of eight from the field, struggling to execute against a feisty Kicks defence.
