New York Knicks Blow Out Denver Nuggets by 38 Points at Madison Square Garden, Forcing Us to Wonder How Good Team Really Is

The Heat’s losing streak is now at six. Takeaways and details from the Heat’s loss to the Knicks on Saturday at Madison Square Garden ...

Jalen Brunson scored 30 points, Julius Randle added 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to four games with a 108-103 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. New York trailed by nine points at the start of the fourth quarter and outscored the Nets 32-18 in the period, closing out the win with a 10-3 run over the final two minutes. Donte DiVincenzo scored 11 points and OG Anunoby added 10 for the Knicks.

The Toronto Raptors managed to stave off a steep decline after winning the NBA title in 2019. The Raptors traded Pascal Siakam to high-scoring Indiana last week, and if their first three games without him are any indication, it's going to be a tough road ahead. Toronto lost by 16 to Chicago, by 26 to New York and then by eight to Memphis on Monday night.

Julius Randle felt things were out of place when he saw Immanuel Quickley bringing the ball up the court after Toronto won the opening tip. Randle made sure his former teammate's return to Madison Square Garden wasn't a winning one. Randle finished with 18 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists for his 14th career triple-double, and the Knicks routed the Raptors 126-100 on Saturday night in the first meeting between the teams since a trade last month.
