Raptors Cool Off Knicks, 113-106
The Toronto Raptors defeated the New York Knicks, 113-106, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

The Knicks (18-14) came into the contest as only slim favorites despite their eight-game winning streak, but it was evident from early the Raptors (14-18) were going to be a tough assignment. Toronto owned a one-point lead after one and had extended their advantage to 10 points by halftime. New York cut its deficit by three points during the third quarter, but the visitors ultimately matched their hosts bucket for bucket in the final 12 minutes to forge a seven-point, streak-busting victory.

Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 52 points, adding nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal. Fred VanVleet registered 28 points, four assists, one rebound, three steals and one block. O.G. Anunoby managed 15 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block.

Julius Randle and R.J. Barrett co-led the Knicks with 30 points, with Randle adding 13 rebounds and four assists. Immanuel Quickley collected 20 points, two rebounds and one assist. Mitchell Robinson finished with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and three blocks.

The Raptors next pay a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, while the Knicks remain home and welcome in the Chicago Bulls on Friday night as well.
