We said in the Game 2 breakdown that it felt like the series was over. The Nets had made their big swing adjustment, messing up the Raptors’ offense for a few quarters, and had still fallen short at the end of the game. This, even with Toronto shooting poorly on the afternoon.
For Game 3, the Raptors were going to come prepared, so even if the offense still struggled, they should be less impacted than in Game 2. Failing that, it made sense that Toronto would likely see some shooting regression, resulting in a more comfortable win.
