Dominant Towns Performance Leads Knicks to 8th Straight Win

Towns accounted for nearly half of New York’s 43 total rebounds, showcasing his dominance on the glass. The veteran big man has recorded two 22-rebound games this season and set his career-high with 27 rebounds against New Orleans on Jan. 12, 2019.

For the short-handed Raptors, Scottie Barnes led the way with 23 points, while Jamal Shead notched a career-high 16. Toronto played without leading scorer RJ Barrett (concussion protocol) and suffered another setback when center Jakob Poeltl (right hip) exited at halftime.

Poeltl contributed five points and two rebounds in 15 minutes before being ruled out for the second half.
