There have been times in modern Raptors history where they face a terrible opponent and play down to their levels, frustrating everyone.
These memories even come from the location of tonight’s game, Madison Square Garden, where the 2017-18 Knicks hung a 28-0 run on the Raptors in the third quarter to eventually hand Toronto their most unlikely loss of the season. These games disappoint us all.
Readers, this was not one of those nights.
On Thursday, Toronto did their business and took care of a very sad New York Knicks team, leading wire-to-wire and winning 117-92.
