The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Toronto Raptors on Friday and won 114-105. Kyrie Irving led the team with 27 points in an impressive display of ball-handling and shot-making.
Kevin Durant (17 points) took a backseat in this game as he allowed Irving and Joe Harris (17 points) were hot shooting the ball in the early going. TJ Warren played his first NBA game in 703 days and he looked confident scoring his 10 points.
The story of this game was that the Nets stormed out to a 41-17 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Raptors gave the Nets a scare in the fourth quarter as they mounted a furious comeback, but the Nets made just enough shots to finish out the game.
Here’s what NBA Twitter thought of the Nets’ win over the Raptors:
Cam Thomas is just really tough to have on the floor as of late.

Never have I been less confident about a 17-point lead

Nic Claxton just had a nasty putback dunk. I don't know how to describe his celebration of it. Matrix? Whacky inflatable arm tube man?

That's four wins in a row for the Nets. They've found a solid rhythm offensively. Kyrie finishes with 27 points, five assists and four rebounds. All the starters were in double figures. T.J. Warren is back after almost 2 years rehabbing — and chipped in with 10 points of his own
