The Toronto Raptors were rolling for the first quarter and a half and led by 17 points midway through the 2nd period and that's when the Nets decided to make this an episode of "Nip and Tuck" Logo Style. The Nets cut that 17-point lead to 51-44 at the break and the Barclays started chanting Brooklyn...Brooklyn...Brooklyn.

Right out the 3rd frame gate the Nets were bringing it following the lead of the "Truth" Paul Pierce who had 10 of his team-high 22 points in the 3rd. The Nets behind a 22-16 frame in the 2nd and a 23-16 frame in the 3rd had things all tied up at 67-67 going into the 4th and what would the Dinosaurs do as we know what Godzilla would do...Tear the Barclays Up!

The Raptors rose up as #WeTheNorth was riding shotgun with the Leafs in the Trunk and closes the game on a 20-12 run as the Nets looked to have run out of gas which had a lot to do with the Raptors heightened play in the 4th. Raptors All-Star Sniper "D2" had a game-high 24 points with Point God K.L. adding 22 points. Without their production offensively they do take the series back to the North at 2-2 and the Dinosaurs knew that. Toronto committed just 10 turnovers to the Nets 16 while out shooting them almost at 83% to 65% from the stripe.

Following the Nets "Truth" was Mirza Teletovic with a dozen, D-Will with 10 points and six helpers, and K.G. adding 10 points and four rebounds. Joe Johnson the Nets leading scorer coming into game 4 was 2 for 7 with 7 points. Brooklyn shooting 4 for 20 from the Arc and nearly 40% from the field spelled gloom and doom.

Game #5 of the Series is back in the Dinosaur Museum on Hump Day April 30th  on NBA TV...
