Blowout win over Knicks give Raptors time to play

It is a relatively minuscule sample size and the calibre of the opposition has to be taken into consideration, but the Raptors got a look at a rather intriguing lineup in New York on Thursday night.

In part out of necessity because two big wings were unavailable, the Raptors ran out their biggest possible frontcourt – Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka and Pascal Siakam – for about six minutes of another easy victory, this one 117-92 over the New York Knicks.
