Breakdown
This was not just another regular season win. The headline is the matchup ownership, with New York stretching the streak to 12 straight over Toronto.
Per Reuters, Brunson ran the show with 26 and 10, and the supporting work popped too. Hart cleaned the glass, and Towns added a double double, which is exactly the kind of balanced night New York wants as games stack up.
For Toronto, Barrett’s 28 kept him as the bright spot, but the bigger story is the same one the Raptors have been living: trying to solve a team that has had their number for a long time.
