Raps, Siakam Snap Knicks Streak

"It lasted for a long time. A very long time. It was a great success, but even great successes come to a natural end." ― Isaac Asimov, Robots and Empire

The Knicks' unexpected and enthralling eight-game win streak ended Wednesday night at MSG. 

New York, playing on the back end of a back-to-back, fell behind by double-digits to Toronto but clawed their way back in the fourth quarter. However, Pascal Siakam put the Raps on his back and carried them to a 113-106 victory. Siakam had a game for the ages, tallying 52 points (17-of-25 FGs, 16-of-18 FTs), nine rebounds and seven assists. Since the new Garden opened in 1968, only two visiting players have had at least 50 points, nine rebounds and five assists in a single game: LeBron James in February of 2009 and Siakam last night.
