78-76... after three.

We?ve led all game but suddenly we can?t score against their zone.

You just knew TOR would catch and pass us eventually...

Alex B is a -7, all zeroes except for a couple turnover and his missed shots. Why did he get 14 minutes of burn based on his first few minutes.

Aside for AB?s piss poor play, 7-29 is why they?ll lose. Too many possession we hoisted a 3 up double digits, instead of working the offense, passing ball and scoring a flurry of 2 point shots

I trust in Lowry to close this game so brace for it.

End of 3rd qtr. 76-78 Knicks .... we had the Starters in to long in the 3rd, Raptors out scored us 34-22 in the 3rd qtr.

Rookie Flynn, who is shooting 20% from downtown. Made 17 all season... he drains 2 and NY down 87-83... TOr ball. Guess who is still in the game guarding him? Yep. AB

Randle doing nothing in the corner, standing there and let?s the double team approach then hands ToR the ball.... they drain a 3... 90-83 and TOr ball.

They just called a double dribble on Bullock as he drives for wide open layup. That they decide to call.

And now it?s official... we are in Jeopardy of TOR stealing the 10th seed and knocking us out.

Hard to blame 1 player for this loss, but AB has been that bad.

TOR brilliant zine defense tho... they give us mid range but all we want is to either drive into a crowd or Chuck a 3.

Not looking Good Knicks .. we have the same lineup in the game that let the Raps come from behind 12 points to take the lead .. 83-87 Raps .. 6 min remain in game

Randle sinks a FT as any retake lead, after a 3 taken away from TOr. Randle 6-18... first points off second half.

89-87

Noel missed a wide open layup then dropped ball out of bounds trying to grab easy defensive rebound. Brutal.
 
Noel is an excellent shot blocker but he has maybe the worst hands for catching and holding onto the ball of any basketball player I have ever seen.

93-89 after great ball Movement leads to an AB 3...

Then AB misses front end of 1 on 1.... TOr cuts lead to 93-91.

Does Thibbs take AB out? Nope, he doubles down and is running offense through AB

Randle loses ball Out of bounds. Painful watching this tonight... he is a turnover waiting to happen.

It was ruled NY ball and d RP site video being inconclusive, they overturn call and give it to TOR.

I love how RJ lets his game do the talking yet he still has haters. Mind boggling

Salute to his growth and maturation

Great big bucket by RJ 3-ball it put a shine of light on the game .. To much of Randle's dribble-dribble performance in 3rd & 4th qtr. help us lose the 14 pt lead
