The Toronto Raptors have a 3-0 lead in a playoff series for the first time in their 25-year history and appear ready to complete a four-game sweep of the undermanned Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.
The Raptors dominated the Nets 117-92 Friday afternoon in Game 3 of the best-of-seven first-round playoff series being played near Orlando.
"The purpose of going 3-0 is so you can go 4-0," said Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, who scored 22 points in Game 3.
The Nets, who were stubborn opponents in Game 2, offered little resistance Friday without sharpshooter Joe Harris, who left the bubble for a family emergency.
