RAPTORS 98 NETS 102...BROOKLYN did everything to give the Game away but held on...DINOSAURS dug themselves a Hole and missed an opportunity to strike BROOKLYN before "GODZILLA" on May 16th..."Fight 4 LARRY" NETS might have too much Vet Savvy for TORONTO #TORvsBKN #WeTheNORTH #NETSnation

The Raptors were right there at least past the break as they trailed the Brooklyn Nets in Game 3 in the Barclays 49-45. The Dinosaurs sloppy play coupled with the Nets three top scoring options putting in work ruined any hope of the Dinosaurs striking in Brooklyn on this night before Godzilla on May 16.

The Nets took that 49-45 lead at the break and pushed it to 77-66. The Nets lead then ballooned to as high as 93-78 in the 4th with five minutes to go before Brooklyn in front of Nets Owner Mikhail Prohkorov wheeled in Jonah Hill and "Superbad 3" Barclays Gone Wild! The Dinosaurs never quit coming and got the deficit down to 97-96 before the Nets held on for a 102-98 "W".

Brooklyn's Big Three Joe Johnson (29 pts 11-17 FG), D-Will (22 pts 8 asst), and the Truth (18 pts 5 rebs) cannot continue to get those numbers and if they do the Raptors will have have a great season. Raptors 17 turnovers as they get 30 points from All-Star Demar Derozan but on 8 of 22 from the field. Kyle Lowry added 15 points with Patrick Paterson adding 17 points of the bench. Raptors need more composure down the stretch and stay within striking distance coming out of the Motel.

Game 4 is Sunday April 27th at 7pm ET...Nets lead 2-1
