It was a fourth straight win for the Raptors, who are unbeaten in three road games this season.
Late 57-53 at the half, the Raptors took control, dominating 38-22 in the third quarter. Anunoby provided 10 points there.
“OG has always done well in defense and takes pride in that,” said coach Nick Nurse. He’s working on adding a strong offensive element and we are coaching him, while making sure he stays alert in defense. ”
Gary Trent had 26 points and Fred VanVleet 17, with nine rebounds and seven assists.
Anunoby and Trent each had four shots from long distances.
“The key is to stay aggressive and take opportunities to take good shots,” said Anunoby, discussing his performance in general.
“I try to adjust to how they want to counter me. While studying video footage, I have seen times when I rushed my gestures.
“I’m trying to see where my teammates are. As the season progresses, I will continue to learn and I will do better and better. ”
Trent also showed his brilliance again in defense, with four steals.
Inserted in the starting lineup, Svi Mykhailiuk scored 15 points.
Khem Birch was very solid with six points, eight rebounds, two steals and one block. Nurse called the reservist for 31 minutes.
“Sometimes coaches stick a lot to pre-set rotations, but ‘Coach’Nurse has a flair for the tempo and the flow of a game,” said the Montrealer. This is something that I appreciate. ”
Toronto started to get the hang of it with an 8-0 push late in the second quarter.
The Raptors were then formidable in the third engagement.
In a brilliant streak, VanVleet gave his team the lead with a basket against the backboard; Mykhailiuk had a three-point shot, following a shrewd pass from VanVleet, and Trent also hit the mark from afar, in ‘fast-break’.
Anunoby hit with a long shot; Mykhailiuk twisted the ropes from the corner of the field, then VanVleet punctuated it with another three-point shot.
As a result of those flurries, the Raptors led 85-74, with 3:37 left in the third quarter.
They stayed the course and picked up the win, bringing their record to 5-3.
The Raptors’ three-game trip concludes in Washington on Wednesday.
Scottie Barnes was not playing, suffering from a sprained right thumb.
He was injured late Saturday in Indiana.
“It’s stiff,” coach Nick Nurse said before the game.
Nurse said the situation didn’t look too bad, but he was unwilling to comment on how long Barnes expected to be away.
Drafted fourth this year, Barnes led his team with 21 points against the Pacers.
He had the same distinction and the same harvest in the previous game, against the Magic.
Ontario’s RJ Barrett had 27 points for the Knicks, who had won their last three games.
The game was presented 75 years after the very first meeting in NBA history: New York visiting the Huskies at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.
The NBA on Monday unveiled the “City Edition” jerseys for all of its clubs.
Black and gold with the dinosaur logo, that of the Raptors will be used for the first time on November 13 in Toronto, against Detroit.
Those of the Hawks, Cavaliers and Mavericks will make fans happy, bringing back popular old logos.
