Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 110-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
One — Welcome: A stress-free win is exactly what the Raptors needed after dropping four of their last five games. Brooklyn jumped out to a 12-0 lead, but Toronto controlled the game from thereon. The Nets stayed within striking distance, but the Raptors had a response each time as they cruised to a wire-to-wire win. The Nets are shorthanded, but they had won eight of their last 11 coming into tonight’s game, and this was a solid win for the Raptors.
Two — Dominant: This was the rare night in which Pascal Siakam didn’t face double teams from start to finish, and unsurprisingly, he feasted.
