Despite the Toronto Raptors having their three big players available against the Knicks on Saturday afternoon, they were still blown out by 17 points in regulation. The Knicks scored 120 points, allowing just 103 to Toronto, stifling yet another team enjoying a winning streak. Toronto entered the contest winning four games in a row but didn’t even stand a chance against a surging NY team that has nine consecutive wins.
The Knicks are now 34-27 on the season and are .5 games up on Atlanta and 1.5 games over Boston. However, all-star Julius Randle believes that the team might be peeking when they really need to be doing so during the postseason.
