Raptors Lose to Knicks by 31
The Raptors suffered a horrible 31 point loss to the Knicks on Sunday. New York's Amare Stoudemire lead his team with 31 points and the Knicks made 12 of 27 three-point attempts. “We didn’t do a very good job running them off the three-point line,” said Triano. “We just didn’t do a very good job covering them on the perimeter.” The Knick's put up 33 points, 12 of which were three-pointers, in the first quarter. Toronto got within 7 points in the fourth quarter but never strung together enough defensive stops to really make a run.
The Knicks have won nine of 10 and seven straight on the road. Jerryd Bayless made five three-pointers and led Toronto with 23 points while Andrea Bargnani had a tough shooting day (8-19 from the floor) and had 22.
In my opinion, the Raptor's need to work on their defense a lot more in practice. They seem like their out there to score point for themselves. They don't seem to care about playing defence. The only player who actually hustled back on defence was Jose Calderon. The Raptor should not expect to win until they start helping Calderon out on defence.
