The Toronto Raptors have a 3-0 lead in a playoff series for the first time in franchise history, and they achieved that lead in relative comfort, with a wire-to-wire win over the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets stuck around for as long as they could, but the Raptors won every quarter, and benefitted the first real stand-out performance that Pascal Siakam has had since the NBA restart. The result was a 117-92 win, giving them commanding control in this first round series.
The game initially looked like it would be over very, very quickly.
