Toronto handed the Knicks a 104-87 loss on Friday night at the Air Canada Centre. The matchup marked the first time these two sides will meet within a week. Kyle Lowry finished with a 22 point, 10 assist double-double, ending just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. The Raps are now winners of three straight, averaging over 120 PPG through that stretch. All three of those wins have come against teams with positive records heading into the clash.
Toronto outscored the visiting Knicks - playing only their fifth road game of the campaign - 30-18 after a first quarter typified by the smothering of Knicks superstar, Kristaps Porzingis.
