The Brooklyn Nets stop the that new Dance called the "BK Slide" as they go "North of the Border" and stop the Dinosaurs 102-100. The Skid stopped the Nets slide of five games but more importantly for the Nets gives them some much-needed confidence that they can win. Raptors just fell in a hole early as "Rudy the Raptor" had a American Pie-Type of night.
The Nets were led by Big Andray Blacthe who after some eight seasons is showing some sings of Maturity and Game that the Wiz Kids of D.C. waited on for hat seemed like a decade. Blatche had 24 points and five boards to lead all scorers as JJ chipped in with 21 points and the "Truth" Paul Pierce added 16. The Nets for the first time this season won a 3rd quarter 26-25 after the "Big Ticket" K.G. talked about 3rd quarter issues after the last game.
The Raptors get an explosive night from their starting Back Court of DeMar Derozan (27 pts 6 rebs) and Kyle Lowry (24 pts 6 assts) as they carried the Dinosaurs almost to the Winners Circle. Poor Front Court play spelled gloom and doom for the Raptors as "Rudy the Raptor", Amir Johnson, and Jonas Valanciunas combined to score 22 points and grabbed eighteen Oranges and that is not getting it done when Blatche out scored all three. The Raptors lose after being +21 with the Money Ball over the Nets. That just indicates what kind of hole the raptors were playing in all night.
The Nets move to 4-10 as the Raptors fall to 6-8....
