Even when the Nets get a rare win, they don’t make it easy.
After seemingly having Tuesday night’s game against the Raptors on cruise-control, the Nets held on for a much-needed 102-100 win inside Air Canada Centre. Brooklyn had a 101-86 lead with a little over three minutes remaining, but allowed Toronto to close on a 14-2 run and have a chance to tie or win the game on the final possession.
The win for the Nets (4-10) snapped a five-game losing streak, and a run of eight losses in their previous nine games.
