The Toronto Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 116 - 104, at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday. The Nets (7 - 20) already faced some tough odds before the opening tip, as they checked in to Tuesday as losers in 11 of 12 road games, while the Raptors (20 - 8) had tallied 10 of their 19 wins at home. Both trends endured Tuesday, as Toronto rode a solid team shooting night and strong efforts from Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas to secure the victory. The Raptors tallied success rates of 46 and 44 percent, respectively, from the field and three - point range, while holding their visitors to under 40 percent shooting overall. The Nets were led by a pair of bench players, with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who posted 19 points, six boards, three assists, a steal and a block in 20 minutes, leading the way. Spencer Dinwiddie was second with 14 points, four rebounds, an assist and a block. Jeremy Lin drew the start and paced the first unit with 12 points, four assists, two boards, a steal and a block. Trevor Booker supplied 11 points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal. However, no other member of the starting five got into double digits in the scoring column, as Luis Scola (nine points), Sean Kilpatrick (eight points) and Bojan Bogdanovic (five points) notably underperformed. Lowry filled out the stat sheet with 23 points, eight assists, four rebounds, three steals and a block. DeMarre Carroll was next with 17 points and three boards, going 7 - of - 11 from the field and 3 - of - 6 from behind the arc. DeMar DeRozan had a modest 15 points, which he complemented with two assists, a rebound and a steal. Valanciunas stepped up with a 10 - point, 14 - rebound double - double that also included a block. Terrence Ross led the second unit with a season - high 21 points, while also notching three rebounds, an assist and a game - high five steals. Cory Joseph was productive off the bench as well, tallying 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists. The Nets head back home to face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday evening, while the Raptors travel to Utah for a Friday evening date with the Jazz.
