The New York Knicks kicked off their Summer League campaign with an 89-79 loss to the Toronto Raptors. If you’re looking for a main culprit for the loss, it was definitely the Knicks’ three-point shooting. New York shot 7-40 from beyond the arc, and they were 3-33 at one point in the game. That ain’t gonna get it done, friends.
The biggest takeaway from the game should be the strong, assertive play of Obi Toppin. The big man took a long time to adjust to the NBA as a rookie, but he looked like a veteran in Vegas, using his size and strength to bully Toronto to the tune of 24 points and 8 rebounds.
