"It was a tale of two halves for the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, and unfortunately for the home team, the final 24 minutes did not go in their favour. The Raptors were outscored 72-41 by the New York Knicks in the second half en route to a 119-92 loss that put an end to their four-game win streak. Toronto led wire-to-wire until the 2:59 mark of the third quarter,"
"allowing New York to climb out of a once 12-point deficit on a far too easy blow-by layup from OG Anunoby, who went on to finish with 26 points, five assists, six steals and two blocks. He wasn't the only Knick to do most of his damage in the third, however, as Mikal Bridges torched the Raptors for 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the frame."
"It started with holding New York to just 6-of-20 shooting in the opening frame, while forcing one of the league's best three-point shooting teams - top five in average makes and percentage - to just 4-of-19 from beyond the arc in the first half. All of which amounted to a modest 51-47 lead heading into the break, that admittedly should have been larger had it not been for another subpar offensive showing to the tune of 14-of-45 shooting."
The New York Knicks erased a 12-point deficit and outscored the Toronto Raptors 72-41 in the second half to win 119-92. OG Anunoby finished with 26 points, five assists, six steals and two blocks, while Mikal Bridges scored a game-high 30 points, including 19 in the third quarter. Toronto limited New York's shooting early and led 51-47 at halftime, aided by 17-of-18 free-throw shooting. Offensive struggles (14-of-45) and a decisive third-quarter collapse allowed the Knicks to seize control and snap the Raptors' four-game winning streak.
