Excellent first half in Toronto. The Raptors are much, much better than I gave them credit for. Scottie Barnes is looking like he can play the Kawhi role. Kevin Durant is hitting tough shots. James Harden looks like he’s getting his groove back. nydailynews.com/sports/basketb… – 4:35 PM

60-53 Raps after a half. Durant lurking with 16, feels like he could find a lot more shots if he wanted to. But Raps playing really nice D, led by a tremendous VanVleet half and 8-7-3 from Barnes. – 4:32 PM

HALF: Nets 53, Raptors 60
Kevin Durant (16 PTS, 3 ASTS), James Harden (10 PTS, 4 ASTS) and the Nets are defending the perimeter well. They’re holding the Raptors to 24% accuracy from deep, but Toronto is outscoring them 34-16 in the paint. – 4:32 PM
