Knicks in control against Raptors

Defeated the day before in overtime in CharlotteThe Raptors take a big wave in the first quarter. The Knicks find the 3-point target nine times, while Myles McBride and Jordan Clarkson are enjoying themselves. The deficit was already made after the first twelve minutes (41-22). However, the Canadian team is not panicking. Scotty Barnes scores several free baskets and slowly the Canadians return to the game during the first period (59-52).

Except everything explodes in the third quarter. This time, Josh Hart hurts behind the line and Mikal Bridges throws in his two cents with his defense and some baskets. The Knicks are 16-1, and the Raptors were stunned before the final quarter (93-77). The final minutes are without interest, also dominated by Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson inside. New York’s victory is as logical as it gets (116-94) and is their fourth in a row.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– The first quarter of the Knicks with 3 points. Even if a 16-1 run in the third quarter completely crushed the Raptors, the Knicks made their mark in this first quarter. Especially Myles McBride, author of four baskets behind the arc. It was too easy for Mike Brown’s men, who found the target at a 64% (9/14) rate, and Toronto’s defense sank, conceding 41 points.

– Record pour Guerschon Iabusele. The Frenchman did not have a great game, but in ten minutes he scored 7 points (3/5 shooting) and grabbed 4 rebounds. And coincidentally, that’s his record this season. With his five points in the first quarter, he fully participated in the game and didn’t just have crumbs at the end.

– Rehearsal before serious things. This duel, at the top of the Eastern Conference, will also be the duel of the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup, in less than ten days, on December 9. The two teams will meet in Toronto, for placement in Las Vegas. Dominated this week, the Raptors have been warned.
