The Knicks have now won nine straight games, the longest streak since the fabled 2012-13 team rattled off 13 straight towards the end of the season.
And this one was no fluke, didn’t require overtime, none of that. The Knicks took on a Raptors team that had won four straight (against the Nets last game too, no less) and utterly dismantled them on the MSG floor.
Things started off back and forth, with Julius Randle doing his usual thing where he comes out supernova hot and reminds teams that they’re going to need to throw extra defenders at him all game if they don’t want to get annihilated.
