Jalen Brunson had 35 points, including 20 in the first quarter, as the New York Knicks routed the undermanned Toronto Raptors 117-101 on Tuesday in an Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinal.

New York advances to Las Vegas where it will face the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

Karl-Anthony Towns, who was a game-time decision, had a double-double with 14 points and 16 rebounds as New York (17-7) won its fourth straight.

Brandon Ingram had 31 points, seven assists and six rebounds as Toronto (15-11) dropped its fourth game in a row. Scottie Barnes added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists.

It’s the first time the Raptors have reached the knockout stage of the in-season tournament.

Starting point guard Immanuel Quickley missed the game with an undisclosed illness. Swingman RJ Barrett of Mississauga, Ont., remained out after getting a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sprained right knee on Monday.

Jamal Shead, who had been listed as questionable with a right quad contusion, started in place of Quickley and Ochai Agbaji was in the lineup for Barrett.

Shead had a season-high 18 points and dished out seven assists, but Agbaji managed just three points.
