The Knicks continued their season-long dominance of the Raptors, defeating Toronto 112-95 on Friday night at MSG.

New York's victory extends its winning streak to five games and has swept the Raptors this season. Their win, combined with the Celtics' win over the Pelicans, has locked the Knicks into the No.  seed in the Eastern Conference. 

-Karl-Anthony Towns was very involved in the offense early. He either scored or assisted in the team's first seven points and the offense in general was buzzing, getting out to an early 14-3 start. However, the shots stopped dropping and the offense became stagnant as the Raptors chipped away at the Knicks lead, tying the game at 20-20 with 1:30 to go in the first. The Raptors actually took a one-point lead but a layup by Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet taking a charge allowed New York to go into the second quarter with a 22-21 lead.

Towns had a team-high seven points after one, while Mikal Bridges (5) and Jalen Brunson (6) were the high scorers for the Knicks. But the team was just 9 of 21 from the field, including 1 of 8 from three in the first quarter. 

-The Knicks got out to a 10-0 run to start the second with the group of OG Anunoby, Jose Alvarado, Ariel Hukporti, Shamet and Clarkson on the floor. But the story of the quarter was the defense on both sides, but the Knicks, in particular, held Toronto to just 15 points in the second frame and went into the half up 51-36.

Towns led all scorers with 14 points on 5 of 8 shooting, eight rebounds and four assists, while Brunson was not far behind with 13 points. 

-The Knicks had a 17-point lead at one point in the third, but the Raptors clawed their way back to cut their deficit to nine points. Poor shot-making and poor transition defense allowed Toronto to get easy buckets. A Brunson fadeaway jumper from the baseline and a Josh Hart steal that led to an easy Bridges layup settled things down and the Knicks eventually built their lead to a game-high 19 points. The Knicks ended the third with a 79-64 lead.

-The reserves started the fourth and were in cruise control, but the Raptors -- who are playing to stay out of the play-in tournament -- kept the score close enough for the starters to come back in the game. Some big buckets from Bridges and the Knicks held off the Raptors long enough for the starters to be subbed out. The reserves held on for the win.

-With Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride not playing on the second of a back-to-back, coach Mike Brown went deep into his bench and many gave good minutes on Friday night.

Hukporti scored eight points and came down with four rebounds -- and was a plus-8 -- in his eight minutes. Alvarado scored 12 points in his 18 minutes.

Jeremy Sochan and Mohamed Diawara also saw some minutes in this one.

-Anunoby only played the first half of this game, as the Knicks announced he would miss the rest of the game with a left ankle injury. The Knicks forward finished with nine points in his 15 minutes. 

-The Raptors were without Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett in this one. 

Towns had a near triple-double, and he was playing very good defense as well.
