The last time these two teams met, the New York Knicks pounced on the Toronto Raptors early and led 29-21 after 12 minutes. But the fun would quickly turn to anguish. Outscored 105-69 over the final three quarters, the Knicks fell 126-98 to the defending champions. Pascal Siakam led the way for Toronto, with 31 points in the win, and didn't even play in the fourth quarter.
A matchup with the Knicks might be just what Siakam (recently named a starter on the East's all-star squad) needs considering the relative struggles he's experienced since returning to Toronto's lineup.
