NEW YORK (AP) — The Toronto Raptors were midway through a dominant third quarter when Svi Mykhailiuk's basket gave them the lead for good.
It was 68-66 — the final score of the first NBA game, exactly 75 years earlier.
With a shot clock and 3-pointer in today's game, the Raptors just kept right on scoring.
Anunoby had a career-high 36 points and the Raptors won their fourth straight by beating the New York Knicks 113-104 on Monday night in the 75th anniversary of the NBA's first game.
Gary Trent Jr. added 26 points for the Raptors, who surged into the lead by outscoring the Knicks 38-22 in the third quarter.
