Final: Knicks 103, Raptors 98

Please raise your hand if you expected the Knicks to win both games of a back-to-back for the first time this season after losing both Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire?

Now put your hands down, you lying scumbags!

Fresh off a double-overtime triumph in Detroit, the Knicks returned to a somber MSG and honored Anthony Mason with a shockingly rugged 103-98 over the Toronto Raptors. Seriously, you guys, New York shot 10 more free throws than Toronto. Ten!

Tim Hardaway rocked a protective headband like it was Batman's cowl in the first half, chipping in 18 points before the break.

And all hell broke loose. The Raptors damn near came all the way back thanks to some vintage late-game Knicksing. But you're always in good hands with Langston Galloway:

In conclusion, the New York Knicks have turned into an unstoppable juggernaut.

Matt Miranda is on the recap tonight. Enjoy the winning streak.
