Toronto Raptors vs. Brooklyn Nets (0-2)

After that controversial lost against the Indiana Pacers, they now face the Brooklyn Nets at the new renovated Barclay Center. Starting with the Raptors Center, Jonas Valanciunas,he didn't have his best game, only able to score 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, mainly because he only played 12 minutes. Net's point guard, Deron Williams had a pretty typical game, which is impressive, scoring 19 points, 9 assist and with 1 rebound. Raptor's Demar Derozan is finally playing to his recent contract extension as he was able to score 25 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Derozan I believe is showing that he can have a break out season to live up to his contract. The player of the game for the Net's is Brook Lopez, scoring 27 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, which was Valanciunas's initial match up and as you can tell, clearly took advantage of the rookie. The player of the game for the Raptor's is yet again is Kyle Lowry, scoring 28 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds,3 steals,and a block, filling up the stat sheet across the board. Lowry tried late to win the game, but it wasn't enough. This game actually came down to the wire in the 4th quarter, but it was the Brooklyn Nets that came up on top, beating the Toronto Raptors, with the final score of 107-100. Toronto's next opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves as they look for there first win.
