Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 121-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
One — Response: The Raptors were never going down without a fight, especially on the heels of their discouraging offensive display against the Miami Heat. Toronto’s offence sputtered to start — while Brooklyn was on fire from deep — and that created a 16-point deficit midway through the second quarter. But the Raptors picked up their energy, their main playmakers found a rhythm and it was game over from there. A 12-0 run cut the deficit to four by halftime and the Raptors crushed the Nets 73-50 from thereon.
