The Toronto Raptors entered Barclays Center on Wednesday sporting a 15-game winning streak. It’s their longest winning streak in franchise history — and Brooklyn made sure Toronto’s run didn’t extend to 16 games, as the Nets won their last game before the NBA All-Star break 101-91.
The win is the Nets’ fifth in a row at Barclays Center. Brooklyn has won each of the five games by 10 or more points — something they haven’t done since 2004.
The Raptors’ 15-game winning streak is also the longest streak the Nets have brought to an end, the previous best streak was owned by Seattle (12 games) in 1982-83.
Also, this is the first time the Nets have beaten a reigning NBA champion since 2014, per YES Network.
In the win, Caris LeVert led the Nets with 20 points on 10-for-20 shooting. He also had seven rebounds.
