NEW YORK (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns had 27 points and 13 rebounds, OG Anunoby scored 27 points, and the New York Knicks beat the Toronto Raptors 112-98 on Wednesday night.
Josh Hart added 21 points and 11 rebounds while Jalen Brunson had 13 points for the Knicks, who snapped a three-game losing streak that followed nine consecutive victories.
Towns shot 9 for 14 from the field, including 3 for 3 on 3-pointers, in 34 minutes after missing Monday’s loss against Orlando due to patellar tendinopathy in his right knee.
Immanuel Quickley scored 22 points against his former team and Scottie Barnes had 18 for the Raptors, who have lost two straight and 14 of 15.
The Knicks shot 55 per cent from the field and got 40 combined points from Towns, Anunoby and Hart to head into halftime with a 55-51 lead.
Takeaways
Raptors: RJ Barrett, another former Knick, had 16 points.
Knicks: Mikal Bridges had 10 points as all five Knicks starters scored in double digits.
Key moment
