After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Raptors snuck past the Nets 104-99. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
