TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors finished a tough stretch of 10 games in 16 days and they hope to use a three-game homestand to their advantage beginning Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets at the Air Canada Centre.
"Rest is going to be our friend," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said after the 132-129 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night in Cleveland. "We have to take these games and learn from them, learn from the situations where we have to be disciplined. It's not a huge thing."
The Nets (23-49) are coming off a 111-105 loss to the Charlotte Hornets when they squandered 23-point lead on Wednesday at Barclays Center.
