TORONTO — There could be plenty of nights like Thursday for the Knicks now that Kristaps Porzingis is out for the season.
The Knicks trailed by 32 and were blown out of Air Canada Centre by the Raptors, 113-88. The Knicks have lost five straight for the first time this season and fell a season-worst 10 games under .500 (23-33).
The Raptors (38-16) blew it open in the second half. They outscored the depleted Knicks 42-19 over a 12-minute stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters to open a 102-73 lead midway through the fourth.
This was the Knicks’ first game since losing Porzingis for the season with a torn left ACL.
