Nets thrashed by Raptors in Game 1

The Brooklyn Nets weren’t able to hang with the Toronto Raptors throughout the majority of their Game 1 matchup

The Brooklyn Nets had a rough start to Game 1 of their first-round series against the Toronto Raptors on Monday that they could not overcome.

Although the Nets responded to a 22-point halftime deficit by outscoring the Raptors by 13 in the third quarter, Brooklyn could not maintain their momentum in the fourth quarter as Toronto took a 1-0 series lead following the 134-110 finish.

Despite the result, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot continues to prove he needs to part of Brooklyn’s future plans with his play in the Disney bubble.

In addition to making an impact on the defensive end, TLC scored a team-high 26 points in the loss. The wing finished 9-for-13 from the floor (6-for-9 from deep), grabbed seven rebounds off the bench and was the one Nets player to finish with a positive plus-minus (+2).

Caris LeVert has a career-high 15 assists, in addition to his 15 points. Like TLC, LeVert also had seven rebounds.

Joe Harris scored 19 points and went 3-for-5 from 3-point territory. Jarrett Allen logged yet another double-double (15 points and 12 rebounds), throwing down a few monster jams in the process.
