Scottie Barnes led the Raptors with 23 points, while Canadian RJ Barrett added 21 points. However, the Raptors struggled without star player Kawhi Leonard, who scored only six points in 22 minutes before exiting the game early. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson was the team's top performer with 20 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 13 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists. This marked the second game in a home-and-home series between the teams, with the Raptors winning their first matchup 148-98 earlier in the week.",
