Nets get reminder of how far they have to go in loss to Raptors

Sports

TORONTO — The Nets have shown even shorthanded they can beat good teams at home. Beating contenders on the road is another matter, and the Raptors are a reminder of just how far away they are.

The Nets came north and got smothered defensively yet again by the defending champions and emerging star Pascal Siakam, losing 110-102 before a sellout crowd of 19,800 at Scotiabank Arena.

Siakam poured in a game-high 30 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and handed out five assists.

In a game delayed to re-level the rims, the Nets (13-12) shot like the rims were shotglasses — going 12-of-46 from 3-point range.
