Questions persist about how Barrett would fit in a smaller role, but he has done all he can in a bigger one in Toronto.

Barrett’s 30 points weren’t enough to take down the New York Knicks (15-9) as they handed the Toronto Raptors (7-18) a 113-108 defeat. In addition to the Maple Mamba’s 30 points, he grabbed eight rebounds, dished out four assists and knocked down three three-pointers.

It took everything they had, but the New York Knicks had just enough to claw their way to a victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. Though their hosts lost marquee talent Scottie Barnes, a strong divisional challenge awaited at Scotiabank Arena.
