Towns also added <strong>eight points<\/strong> and starred in the most spectacular play of the match with a no-look, over-the-shoulder assist that found <strong>Mikal Bridges<\/strong> in full offensive transition.\n\nBridges led the Knicks&#8217; offense with <strong>30 points<\/strong>, 19 of them in a heated third quarter that changed the course of the game. <strong>OG Anunoby<\/strong> contributed <strong>26 points<\/strong>, as well as six steals and two blocks, in a complete performance for a team that strung together its <strong>fourth consecutive victory<\/strong> and swept the season series against Toronto.\n\nThe play that symbolized Towns&#8217; impact came during the decisive rally of the third quarter, when he grabbed an offensive rebound and, falling out of bounds, assisted Bridges for a basket that finished tilting the balance in favor of New York.\n\n<strong>Josh Hart<\/strong> contributed <strong>22 points<\/strong>, while <strong>Jalen Brunson<\/strong>, affected by an illness, finished with 13 units.

From that moment on, the game was over.\n\nToronto had started better and dominated the first quarter 28-18, but New York&#8217;s defensive intensity and dominance in the paint ended up prevailing to seal a resounding victory.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013 Although he wasn&#8217;t the top scorer of the night, Karl-Anthony Towns left a decisive mark by dominating the boards in the New York Knicks&#8217; 119-92 victory over the Toronto Raptors, in a game played this Wednesday in the NBA.
