The Raptors for the first time this season they were completely out work for all four quarters of the game as the three loss the Raps had coming into tonight was all about the fourth quarter but tonight the Nets just destroyed them on the offensive glass especially Kris Humphries who had 16 boards with 9 offensive boards that lead to a 25-6 second chance points going into the fourth quarter. The Nets who came in with 44 threes and shooting 28% and tonight they shoot 48% and made 15 in the game lead by Anthony Morrow who was 6 of 10 on his way to 24 points and DeShawn Stevenson who was 5 of 10 from beyond the arc and it was the Deron Williams show especially in the third quarter where he had 12 of his 24 points in the Nets 97-85 victory for their second victory of the season along with the Nets having 13 offensive boards.
The Raptors were a step slow and did not come into the game and take the Nets seriously as the Nets who averaged 83 points a game scored 97 and they had given up 96 points a game and was able to hold the Raptors to 85. The Raptors got the usual game from Andrea who had 17 points in 36 minutes a couple less than his average but only had 4 boards and Jose had 19 points but only 8 assists while Ed had 11 points and 8 boards and Amir had 8 points and 10 boards. The most disappointing part of the game were DeMar who just did not bring it with a 1of 6 from the floor and 1 of 2 from the line for 3 points in 27 minutes and Jamaal got two fouls in the first minute on the floor and did not get into the flow of the game and it hurt the team as he should of been the guy putting a body on Hump in the game.
Laid down a egg tonight and the sixers tomorrow are going to feel the Raptors pain
