Raptors starting to pull away from Kings, who are on a back to back and oddly doing better than they did last night, when they got blown out in Brooklyn. Highlight of the game was some idiot on Sacramento fouling a Raptor on an end-of-the-third-quarter desperation shot from beyond the half court line. Sacramento announcers were practically apoplectic. Three foul shots for Toronto.
That was Ben McLemore with 0.2 seconds to go. I'm expecting McLemore to one day check into a game at the scorers table with no shirt on beneath his warmup.

Marvin Bagley got his first career start tonight and posted a 22/11.

Maybe Conley to the Pacers can happen...

Oh no. Victor Oladipo down and immediately called for the trainer to come out. Looking at his knee and bringing out the stretcher.
It looked awful. I’m not exactly DRS, but I’d be shocked if he isn’t out until 2020. Hopefully it ends up like the Caris Lavert injury that ended up way less gruesome than it appeared...

I just watched the replay. The trainer immediately covered it up with a towel. I am no DRS either but that is never a good sign. That typically means its gruesome looking obviously...

Harden now with 32. It’s really just 4 guys standing around while he scores. 2 assists for the whole team with a couple minutes left in the half. He’s a +4, rest of the team ranges from 0 to -17...

Good thing Oladipo has two more seasons after this one on his deal at $21mm per. If that injury is as bad as it looks, he will be out for a while and he turns 27 this spring.

Harden had 49 after 3, sitting to start the 4th. Hopefully NY can keep it close, because Melo's alltime MSG record is 62.

Oladipo injury is just a serious bummer. Just like George, a perfect unassuming star for that franchise and city and another major injury that kills a great season.

Celtics will obviously benefit as that probably moves them away from a first round matchup with Philly.

WHAT WAS THAT?

The Knicks hit 3 FTs then Gordon throws ball into Tucker who just stares at it, Knicks pick it up and lay it in. Then missed shot...Knicks with FTs---take the lead.

Harden has 59, season high for anyone is Kemba with 60, alltime NY opponent record is Kobe with 61, alltime MSG record is Melo with 62.

Harden was 12 of 18 on two pointers and 5 of 20 on threes and 22 of 25 from line. He also had 15 rebounds and 5 steals.

Kinda reminds me of the McGwire-Sosa-Bonds HR chases, only without the juicing (?)

Similarly entertaining, I guess.
