The Nets were a step slow on defense all game, and the Raptors burned them with some hot outside shooting, pulling away in the 4th quarter and crusing down the stretch to a 11 point victory. Both teams were short-handed after their trade, but 7 of Toronto's 9 players scored in double-figures, including all 4 off the bench. Richard Jefferson led all scorers with a season-high 38 points on 12 of 20 shooting. Nenad Krstic was impressive offensively with 15 points off the bench, but he injured his hip late in the game.
