NBA Cup Quarterfinals This Week: Heat-Magic, Knicks-Raptors, Suns-Thunder, Spurs
- On Dec. 8, 2025, the Toronto Raptors host the New York Knicks in an NBA Cup quarterfinal as the fifth and final game of their homestand, avenging a 116-94 loss at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 30.
- Seen hobbling outside the locker room after Sunday's defeat, RJ Barrett needs more time for a sprained right knee, and without him the Raptors have dropped five of their last six games.
- Bench players stepped up late as the Raptors rallied from a big deficit, overcoming a 77-59 first-half deficit with late threes from Jamal Shead, Ochai Agbaji, and AJ Lawson and a Shead layup with 10:39 remaining.
- Rajakovic urged the roster to 'step up and help the team,' while Jamal Shead said, 'Getting used to playing without somebody who averages 20 and is a real focal point in our offence .'
- Players say they must clear their minds after a losing stretch and use the New York defeat as motivation, while Rajakovic stressed the roster is capable despite Barrett's importance.
