THE FACTS: The Toronto Raptors (32-48) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (47-33) 93-87 to win their third game in a row and the fifth of their last six games to avoid a season sweep. Toronto led wire-to-wire and gained as much as a 21-point lead, but had some trouble late in the game, but DeMar DeRozan falling one point short of his career-high willed his squad with 36 points and five rebounds. Rudy Gay‘s double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds and Amir Johnson‘s 10 points and nine rebounds complimented the attack as the Raptors defeated their second playoff-bound opponent in a row.
