Despite going toe-to-toe with the Toronto Raptors for 48 minutes Monday night, the Brooklyn Nets came out on the short end of a 127-125 decision at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
The loss was their second in a row and the fifth in their last six games, as the Nets’ struggles without injured Spencer Dinwiddie continued. Brooklyn is now 3-6 since their sixth man went down late last month with torn ligaments in his right thumb.
But for an offense that has been operating in fits and starts, their performance in Toronto has to be encouraging with one game remaining before the All-Star break and healthier times ahead.
