The New York Knicks dominated the Toronto Raptors 119–92 on January 28 at Scotiabank Arena, with Mikal Bridges leading the way on 30 points and OG Anunoby adding 26 in a commanding road victory. New York's offensive efficiency was on full display, shooting 50 percent from the field and draining 14 three-pointers while dishing out 32 assists, overwhelming Toronto's defense that managed just a 92.2 offensive rating. The Knicks' third quarter proved decisive—they outscored the Raptors 35–19 in that frame to seize control of the contest. Toronto's B. Ingram led the hosts with 27 points, and S. Barnes contributed 17, but the Raptors' 38 percent shooting and 20 turnovers proved costly against New York's stifling perimeter defense, which forced 12 steals. The game fell well short of the Vegas total of 220.5 points, as Toronto's offensive struggles limited the combined output. The Knicks' balanced attack—anchored by their elite ball movement and three-point shooting—underscored their growing credentials as an Eastern Conference contender.
