In a remarkable display of skill and strategy, the New York Knicks secured a historic 145-101 win over the Toronto Raptors. This game not only marked the Knicks' largest margin of victory this season but also set a record for the most lopsided home loss in the Raptors' history. Deuce McBride was a standout player, tying his career high with 29 points and setting a new personal best with a career-high nine three-pointers made, alongside seven assists. This performance places him as just the second Knick in franchise history to achieve at least nine made three-pointers and seven assists in a single game, joining Jalen Brunson. The victory propelled the Knicks to third place in the Eastern Conference, benefiting from losses by the Cavaliers, Magic, Pacers, and Sixers. Additionally, the Knicks' achievement of having three different players make nine or more threes in a game this season is a first in NBA history. The Raptors, on the other hand, are facing a challenging period, suffering their 12th consecutive loss, which ties for the third longest losing streak in franchise history. Notably, the Knicks never trailed during the game, showcasing their dominance.

The @nyknicks are the first team in NBA history to have 3 different players make 9+ threes in a game in the same regular season (Brunson, DiVincenzo, McBride). They're also the first team to have 2 different players do so in consecutive regular-season games (DiVincenzo, McBride)

Deuce McBride is just the second Knick in franchise history with at least 9 made three-pointers and 7 assists in a single game. The other is Jalen Brunson who had 9 treys and 9 dimes in his 50-point masterpiece at Phoenix in December.
The Raptors 12-game losing streak is their third longest and longest since they lost 13 in 2010-11. They play Philadelphia on Sunday. https://t.co/ZDLrSyYqYe
Raptors lose their 12th straight, 145-101 to the Knicks, it's the largest losing margin ever at home, 'breaking' the mark they set, uh, three weeks ago against the Pelicans. It's tied for the third largest loss in franchise history.
Deuce McBride made a career-high nine three-pointers in the Knicks' 145-101 win over Toronto. With the Cavaliers' 118-111 loss to the Hornets, New York now has sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference. https://t.co/Np8LRKmqur
Toronto’s 12 straight losses is now tied for the 2nd longest losing streak in franchise history.
Oh dear, Precious Achiuwa. That was ridiculous

The Raptors are reeling! They just gave up 80 to Knicks...in the first half! Just the 3rd time in franchise history they've given up 80 or more in the opening half. The Knicks shot 61.2% 😳
80-59 Knicks over Raptors at half. Nice half for Gradey Dick who has 15 in 17 minutes, Trent Jr. has 9 on eight shots. Garrett Temple has 11 off the bench. Knicks are 12/24 from three. Miles McBride has 20 and six threes. Brunson with 17&7.
.@nyknicks on a roll in Toronto
Knicks up 80-59 at the half - another season-high, most points in a half for the Knicks. McBride with 20 points. Brunson 17 points and 7 assists.
The Toronto Raptors once lost 17 straight games (and another 13 during the same season) in '97-98. This is nothing. https://t.co/ZkccvtQvCh
Knicks played a 79-73 game a couple weeks ago. They have 60 with 8 minutes left in the first half.
It's 45-33 Knicks at the end of one quarter. McBride 6-for-8 from 3 for 18 points. Robinson with 4 points in five minutes and his usual activity.

Donte DiVincenzo’s Knicks record for 3s might last one game. Deuce McBride has five in the first quarter, and since he never comes out, double digits is easily in play.
The New York Knicks are 13.5-point road favorites at the Toronto Raptors tonight. Per @ESPNStatsInfo, that is the biggest road favorite the Knicks have been since Jan. 15, 1993 (-15 at Mavs)
It's been exactly 50 games since Donte DiVincenzo replaced Quentin Grimes as the Knicks' starting shooting guard. During this 50-game stretch, DiVincenzo is averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals, while shooting 45% from the floor…
Donte DiVincenzo isn't just breaking records. He's also showing why the Knicks' plan is working. Story: https://t.co/ttNfDitPL6
DiVincenzo is averaging 14.9 points on 40% shooting from downtown and now has 234 3-pointers this season. He stands just seven shy of the franchise record of 241 set by Evan Fournier -- now with the Pistons -- in 2022. https://t.co/9TpGdd5Kvi
