NEW YORK -- One team owns the league's best record while the other is experiencing massive struggles of late, especially in fourth quarters and in home games.
Those things describe the state of the Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets, who are four years removed from a classic first-round postseason series and seem even further removed from each other in the Atlantic Division.
It also represents how one-sided things are in recent seasons between the teams as Toronto will be seeking its 13th straight win in the series when it visits Brooklyn on Friday night.
