Aside from a meeting with their fellow basement-dwelling Cavaliers on Monday, the Knicks have gone up against three NBA Finals contenders in their past four games.
They have hung around for most of the game against all three powerhouses. But the only wins to be found were of the moral variety.
Once again, the Knicks kept it close with the Raptors on Friday night, but could never get over the hump, falling to the defending champions, 118-112 at the Garden.
The Knicks (12-34) had a late chance to make a stop in a one-possession game, but Raptors forward Pascal Siakam lived up to his new All-Star billing and drained a 3-pointer to make it a 115-109 lead with 21.
