When the Nets played the surging Raptors two nights ago, it didn’t look promising. The roster was as deiminated as it has been in weeks. No Kevin Durant, No James Harden, No Nic Claxton etc., etc. Then, the Nets opened up strong and there was hope. But by game’s end, the Raptors had won their fourth straight and the Nets headed home for a big set of games this weekend. Final Score: Raptors 113, Nets 103. They battled.
Friday night, they’re back and tied for first in the East after the Bucks beat the 76ers, 124-117.
