Knicks slam Toronto with a blistering third quarter to rout the Raptors 119-92

New York overcame a rocky start in Toronto to crush the Raptors 119-92, riding a dominant third-quarter burst (64-26) led by Mikal Bridges’ 30 points on 12-for-15 shooting. The Knicks outshot and outperformed Toronto in the paint and ball movement, aided by a 22-point, 22-rebound showing from Karl-Anthony Towns and a strong 22-point effort from Josh Hart despite an ankle issue. OG Anunoby countered with 26 points for Toronto, while Tyler Kolek added 10 assists off the bench. The win extends New York’s current four-game streak, gives them a 3-0 season-series edge, and sets up a meeting with Portland next.
