The Toronto Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 103 - 95, at Barclays Center on Sunday. The Raptors (31 - 21) entered Sunday's contest trying to break out of a considerable funk that had seen them drop eight of their last 10 games. Their struggles have largely coincided with the absence of DeMar DeRozan (ankle), who's missed five contests during that span. However, the reeling Nets (9 - 42) proved to be exactly the cure for what ailed them Sunday, as they turned the ball over a whopping 21 times on the way to their 20th home loss of the season. Jonas Valanciunas (22 points) and Kyle Lowry (15 - point, 11 - rebound, 11 - assist triple - double) stepped up to make up for DeRozan's absence, and Toronto shot 46 percent from the field overall. Valanciunas added five rebounds and a steal to his team - high scoring total. Lowry also added a steal to his stellar effort. DeMarre Carroll equaled Lowry's scoring total and added five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. Norman Powell mustered 10 points, six rebounds, three assists and one block. Terrence Ross led the bench with 17 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block. Fred VanVleet was productive as a reserve as well with 10 points, four assists and three rebounds. The Nets were paced by Brook Lopez's 20 points, which he supplemented with seven boards, three assists, two blocks and one steal. Bojan Bogdanovic contributed 13 points, three boards and two assists. Sean Kilpatrick led the second unit with 18 points, five rebounds and one steal. Trevor Booker posted a 15 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included three steals and two assists, and Justin Hamilton and Spencer Dinwiddie supplied eight and seven points, respectively, off the bench as well. The Raptors head back home to face off with the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday evening, while the Nets travel to Charlotte to tangle with the Hornets on Tuesday night.
