Knicks reserves demolished by Raptors as starters don’t play in ugly 50-point preseason loss

TORONTO — No, the preseason results don’t actually matter. Knicks coach Mike Brown instead harps on the process. With Knicks starters — as well as veteran bench pieces Landry Shamet, Andre Drummond and Jordan Clarkson — sitting out the team’s preseason game (since it was the second leg of a back-to-back) against the Raptors on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena, it was a chance for those battling for bigger roles and roster spots to help their cases. Brown went with Jose Alvarado, Miles McBride , Mohamed Diawara, Bruce Brown and James Wiseman as his starters.
