TORONTO (AP) — The New York Knicks let a poor shooting performance contribute to a dismal defensive effort.

It all added up to their eighth consecutive loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Kyle Lowry matched his season high with 22 points and added 10 assists, DeMar DeRozan also scored 22 and the short-handed Raptors beat New York 107-84 on Friday night.

New York’s Kristaps Porzingis shot 3 for 13 while Tim Hardaway Jr. finished 5 for 11. The Knicks went 30 for 92 overall, their lowest field goal percentage of the season.

“It was us missing a lot of good shots,” Porzingis said.
