"Toronto's advanced stats have plummeted after their loss to New York, as it seemed like the Raptors were on their way to their first win against the Knicks for the 2025-26 season, but a horrible second-half collapse led to the Raptors dropping back to familiar ground as the fourth seed. Just 41 points in the second half offensively after winning the first half 51 to 47, as Toronto actually led by a bigger margin for most of the half,"
"but New York went on a huge run at the end of the first half that foreshadowed things to come in the third quarter. It was also the most healthy the Raptors have been in quite some time, as Collin Murray-Boyles was back out there for the first time since suffering a thumb contusion against the Los Angeles Lakers, but Karl-Anthony Towns' size was too much for the Raptors as he ripped away 22 rebounds against the undersized Toronto."
Toronto sits 29-20 and fourth in the Eastern Conference with an offensive rating of 113.6 (20th) and defensive rating of 112.1 (8th), producing a net rating of +1.5 (13th). A recent loss to New York featured a second-half collapse in which Toronto scored just 41 points after winning the first half 51-47, and Karl-Anthony Towns collected 22 rebounds against the undersized Raptors. Collin Murray-Boyles returned from a thumb contusion. Orlando is 24-22 and eighth in the East with an offensive rating of 113.9 (18th) and defensive rating of 114.3 (15th). Orlando acquired Desmond Bane in a blockbuster trade but has yet to see payoff from the move.
