The New York Knicks looked about ready to break roughly 19,000 Torontonians’ hearts tonight, but on this night, the bounces went the Toronto Raptors’ way.
First, Julius Randle’s three with about two seconds on the clock rimmed out, to be corralled by Gary Trent Jr., who was immediately fouled — but he only dropped 1 of 2 free throws.
That gave the Knicks one last chance, an RJ Barrett heave at the buzzer that just fell short, allowing the Raptors to escape with the 90-87 win.
Trent led the Raptors in scoring with 24 points on 16 shots, and added three steals; he also dropped the go-ahead three with 1:11 to go .
