The New York Knicks will have a chance to redeem themselves against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, Nov. 22. What are the keys to victory?


The past two games have been a Jekyll and Hyde act by the New York Knicks. Between a blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors and a convincing victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, the Knicks have treated fans to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Thankfully for head coach Jeff Hornacek, his team will have a shot at redemption when they play  the Raptors for the second time in less than a week.

New York will host Toronto at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Nov. 22. It will be the second meeting of the 2017-18 regular season between the two Atlantic Division rivals, with the first being played on Friday, Nov. 17.

Unfortunately for the Knicks, the encounter at the Air Canada Centre ended with the Raptors securing a 107-84 blowout victory.

Come Wednesday night, the Knicks will have a chance to prove that the blowout loss was nothing more than a fluke. The home crowd will be working heavily in New York’s favor, and the the players will have the benefit of hindsight.

The question is: What will the keys to victory be for the New York Knicks against the red-hot Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, Nov. 22?
