**NEW YORK (AP)** — The New York Knicks ended a three-game losing skid with a convincing 112-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 27 points and 13 rebounds in his return from a knee injury, while OG Anunoby also contributed 27 points. Josh Hart added a strong double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
The Knicks’ balanced attack saw all five starters reach double figures, with Jalen Brunson adding 13 points. Their efficient shooting, 55% from the field, propelled them to a 55-51 halftime lead. A decisive 15-0 run in the fourth quarter, fueled by Toronto’s missed shots and turnovers, sealed the win for New York.
Immanuel Quickley scored 22 points against his former team, while Scottie Barnes led the Raptors with 18. RJ Barrett, another former Knick, added 16 points for Toronto, who have now lost 14 of their last 15 games. The Knicks have now won their last seven matchups against the Raptors.
The Raptors travel to Cleveland for a game Thursday, while the Knicks host the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday.
