Knicks blow 4th qtr lead, fall to Raptors in OT

The New York Knicks‘ three-game winning streak came to a heartbreaking end on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as the Toronto Raptors completed a come-from-behind win in overtime, 123-121, at Madison Square Garden.

RJ Barrett forced overtime with a coast-to-coast dunk with 0.6 seconds left in regulation, but Jalen Brunson could not finish off the Raptors as he missed a potential game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer.

The usually clutch Brunson also missed a crucial free throw with 18.8 seconds left in the regulation. Julius Randle also muffed one 20 seconds earlier.

Reigning Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes played his best game of the season, pumping in 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and extra time to lift the Raptors.
