"Ja'Kobe Walter played like he deserved it all at The Garden. He scored his way to 15 points on 4-for-7 shooting from downtown, being the only Raptor to score within the first half of the first quarter."
"For every punch the Raptors landed, the Knicks hit back with three or four more. BI stepped up big time the game before yesterday's, but last night, only stepped up in spurts."
"Barnes wasn't really noticeable until the second half. He played with a level of urgency and intensity that trickled down to the rest of his teammates. There was no quit in him and Darko."
"Most regrettably, Jakob Poeltl was the opposite of bench players like Walter and Mamu. Instead, he was like a shitbox car in the dead of winter, having nothing to give except blow."
Ja'Kobe Walter scored 15 points for the Raptors, being the only player to score in the first half of the first quarter.
