The Toronto Raptors (22 - 15) sent the Brooklyn Nets (10 - 25) to their eighth consecutive home loss Wednesday with a 91 - 74 victory at Barclays Center. The Raptors gave up at least 115 points in their previous two games, both losses, but found their defensvie footing against the Nets, who shot just 40 percent from the field and committed 19 turnovers. Toronto, which has won 15 consecutive games when allowing less than 100 points, did it without DeMarre Carroll, one of its better defenders. Carroll is expected to be out six to eight weeks following arthroscopic surgery Wednesday on his right knee. Jonas Valanciunas totaled 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Raptors, while Kyle Lowry added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists. The Raptors struggled from long range, however, shooting 4 of 22. Lowry was 0 for 7 on three - pointers. Brook Lopez finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds for Brooklyn, which last won at home Dec. 10 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Joe Johnson did not score until the third quarter, hitting a three - pointer to give him 919 consecutive games with a field goal, the longest active streak in the league.
