Knicks Lock Up the East 3-Seed With 13th Straight Win Over the Raptors

Jalen Brunson scored 14 of his 29 points in a dominant third quarter as the New York Knicks clinched the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 112-95 rout of the Toronto Raptors on Friday.

Karl-Anthony Towns was equally impressive with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Knicks have won 13 straight games against the Raptors — a streak that dates back years. New York is 53-28 and riding a five-game winning streak heading into the final day.

At 26.0 points per game on the season, Brunson continues to be one of the most consistent scorers in the league. With the 3-seed locked up, the Knicks know they'll have home-court advantage in the first round. The question now is who they'll face — and in this chaotic East, that might not be settled until tomorrow.
