Knicks get first win in Canada since 2015, beat Raptors

TORONTO --Julius Randle had 32 points and 11 rebounds, Mitchell Robinson had 10 points and 18 rebounds before fouling out and the New York Knicks won their fourth straight game, beating the Toronto Raptors 112-108 on Friday night.

The Knicks won north of the border for the first time in more than seven years, snapping an 11-game road losing streak against the Raptors.

"We had the confidence to get this win on the road," Randle said. "It's big for us."

New York's previous win in Toronto was a 111-109 victory on Nov. 10, 2015. After that game, the referees acknowledged missing Knicks star Carmelo Anthony step out of bounds on a pivotal play late in the fourth quarter.

Jalen Brunson scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, Quentin Grimes had 16 and Immanuel Quickley 13 for the Knicks.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau reached 100 victories with the team.

"I'm glad I'm a part of all 100," Randle said. "Thibs has come in here and created a great culture for all of us. He's been amazing."

Randle got the Knicks rolling by scoring 19 points in the first quarter.

"It got us off to a good start," he said. "Those are important on the road."

New York is 12-8 on the road. Only Brooklyn (13-8) has won more often away from home this season.

Fred VanVleet scored 28 points and Gary Trent Jr. had 27 for the struggling Raptors. Toronto has lost seven of its past eight at home and 11 of 14 overall.

"They outplayed us," VanVleet said. "They deserved to win."
