Raptors Win D-League Bowl 103-96 Over Nets
Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY SportsThe Raptors won a surprisingly fun but meaningless game 103-96 to finish the season 56-26.
In a weird way, that was one of the most fun games of the year. In the midst of all the madness of Kobe's retirement and Golden State's chase for 73 wins, the Raptors' (or rather, the Raptors 905) matchup against the Nets barely registered in terms of importance. Once the Raptors announced that they'd be resting their entire starting lineup, this game was doomed to become a glorified D-League showdown. Instead, the Raptors young guys actually made this a fun game, overcoming a tough start to rout the Brooklyn Nets 103-97.
