Raptors blow it down the stretch against the Knicks, lose 102-96

The Raptors are really into exploring new and exciting ways to lose winnable games this season. Tonight’s contest against the Knicks, which gave us an ugly first half followed by a solid 23.5 minutes of basketball, came down to a few decisions that one could generously call questionable. The first came from the referees after they chose to recall a back-breaking three-pointer from rookie Malachi Flynn to put Toronto in control late; the second came with the Raptors streaking down the court, down two, with a chance to win. In that moment, Pascal Siakam decided to commit a double-dribble in transition, snatching defeat from the jaws of potential victory.
