In a sternly worded court filing Monday, the Raptors are seeking to dismiss the Knicks' recent lawsuit against them for allegedly conspiring to steal thousands of confidential scouting files, calling it "baseless" and a "public relations stunt" by the Knicks, according to a copy of the filing obtained by ESPN.

Further, the Raptors asked for NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to adjudicate the dispute between the two Atlantic Division rivals, with a lawyer for Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment writing that the lawsuit "has no business wasting judicial resources given the all-encompassing arbitration clause in the parties' governing agreement.
