I don't know what happened, but the night is over and the Knicks have more points than the Raptors, so that's a win, and New York's .500 again. Cool! Weird!
New York pulled ahead early by forcing turnovers and cleaning up their misses, maintained their lead when Carmelo Anthony dropped 17 in the second quarter, and went up 13 to start the second half ... then immediately undid all of that and fell behind as some strange lineups gave possessions away. Several wacky crunch-time plays, at least one blown call in the Knicks favor, and 4 clutch-ass Lance Thomas free throws later, the Knicks came out of Toronto having survived somehow.
