TORONTO — Carmelo Anthony didn’t have to deal with referee Tony Brothers, but the Knicks still ended up in a foul mood.
Playing their first real close game of the season, the Knicks’ execution failed them on both ends of the floor and fell to the Toronto Raptors, 118-107, Saturday night at Air Canada Centre.
It was more of the same for the Knicks (3-6). They couldn’t get stops when they needed them, couldn’t score in crunch time and they let the Raptors get to the foul line far too much. Toronto held a 38-16 advantage in free throws attempted and 33-12 edge in foul shots made.
