NEW YORK -- Rookie Norman Powell scored a career-high 30 points as the Toronto Raptors concluded the best regular-season in team history by rallying from an early deficit for a 103-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday night.
Powell, who has thrived with increased playing time in recent weeks, shot 12-of-18 from the field and made eight straight attempts at one point. He set career highs for field goals, 3-pointers (5) and rebounds (9) while playing 36 minutes.
With the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up, the Raptors (56-26) did not bring stars Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan on the trip.
