Raptors’ starters get their work done early in rout of improving Nets

It ended with the Toronto Raptors’ starters sitting on the bench and cheering, their work long done before the final buzzer at the Scotiabank Arena on Friday night.

It was a tidy win, a professional outing, a lopsided affair that afforded the team’s top players some rest.

They had done their work early to power Toronto to a 122-105 pasting of the Brooklyn Nets. Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Pascal Siakam 16 points, Serge Ibaka 14.
