The New York Knicks battled through fatigue after a late-night flight to secure a 121-115 victory against the Toronto Raptors. Key players like Karl-Anthony Towns and Precious Achiuwa stepped up, alongside contributions from Jalen Brunson and rookie Ariel Hukporti. The Raptors started strong, but the Knicks surged in the second quarter, outscoring Toronto 38-17. Despite Toronto's improved play, the Knicks maintained discipline and focus, demonstrating their ability to perform under pressure and hardship, ultimately prevailing for their fourth win over the Raptors this season.
Toronto played with discipline from the jump. They applied full-court pressure, double-teamed Jalen Brunson, and swished six of their first seven shots.
With Towns securing a 20-15 double-double, Mikal Bridges displaying offensive elegance, and Hukporti defending and dunking, the visitors pushed ahead by 10.
