NEW YORK _ The Knicks took another beating Thursday night, never really in the game from start to finish as the Raptors easily coasted to a 117-92 win at Madison Square Garden.
It was a repeat of last week's game in Toronto with the Knicks falling behind by as many as 31 as the Raptors again decided to rest Kawhi Leonard rather than waste him on a night they would not need him.
There were a few highlights for the home fans as Mitchell Robinson (career highs of 19 points and 21 rebounds) threw down a handful of dunks. Jeremy Lin scored 12 for the Raptors, bringing back fond memories of Linsanity for the crowd. And there was the cold reality of Kevin Knox shooting just 3-for-10 (nine points) and the reality that he wasn't the worst offensive weapon for the Knicks on this night.
