Raptors-Nets Preview

The Toronto Raptors felt that rust contributed to a loss in their first game after the All-Star break. They won't be able to use that excuse this weekend when they face a pair of last-place teams.

The Raptors hope to end a recent run of poor play in back-to-back games and hand the lowly New Jersey Nets a sixth straight home loss Friday night.

Toronto (29-24) went into the break as one of the league's hottest teams, winning eight of nine to pull within four games of first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division. That momentum was halted in a 109-102 overtime loss to Memphis on Wednesday.

All-Star Chris Bosh had 32 points and 10 rebounds, but the other Raptors starters combined for 27 points.

"These are tough games to play because we haven't played in a week," Bosh said.

The Raptors fell behind by 12 after one quarter, with the starters putting them in a hole. Hedo Turkoglu scored one point in 29 minutes and missed all five of his shots.

"We got off to a slow start and we were very sluggish," coach Jay Triano said. "We had a hard time getting it going at all."

Jose Calderon led a strong bench effort with 12 points and nine assists, and reserves Amir Johnson and Sonny Weems each scored 10 points for the Raptors, who topped 100 for the franchise-record 18th straight game.

"It's tough because we were playing well at home and these are the types of games we need to win," Calderon said.

Winning on the road at New Jersey (5-49) shouldn't be too difficult a task, although Toronto lost the first game of back-to-back sets five times in their last six tries. The Raptors return home to face Washington on Saturday.

Toronto took both matchups at the Izod Center last season, and has showcased tremendous depth in two wins over New Jersey in 2009-10. Seven Raptors scored in double figures in a 118-95 victory Dec. 18 and every starter accomplished the feat in a 108-99 win Feb. 3.

The Nets ended an eight-game skid with a 103-94 win over Charlotte on Tuesday before returning home to lose 87-84 to Miami on Wednesday. New Jersey failed to take advantage when Heat star Dwyane Wade was lost to a sprained left calf in the first quarter and did not return.

"There haven't been many games where (we) walked away thinking you should have won that game," guard Keyon Dooling said. "This is one of those games we should have won."

New Jersey led 80-74 with 4:56 remaining before missing 11 of its final 12 shots.

"With our track record we haven't been able to handle those situations down the stretch, so it's a tough one," forward Kris Humphries said. "We're getting better. We're right there."

Courtney Lee played well against the Bobcats, scoring 21 points and going 7 for 11. One night later, the second-year guard went 0 for 9 for his worst career shooting effort.

No Bosh, no problem for Raptors in easy win over Nets

By Bob Considine, for NBA.com

EAST RUTHERFORD (NBA.com exclusive) -- There have been recent moments where the Nets look as though they'll have no problem dodging the worst record in NBA history.

This wasn't one of them.

New Jersey lacked defensive focus in the first half, trailed by 20 early in the third quarter and never recovered in a 106-89 win for the Raptors on Friday night at the IZOD Center.

Beyond the 60 percent shooting they allowed Toronto in first half, the loss was most disappointing for the Nets against a Raptor team that was missing its best player in Chris Bosh.

Instead, Bosh's replacement, veteran role player Rasho Nesterovic, recorded a season-high 16 points, one of seven players who scored in double figures for Toronto. Jarrett Jack led that illustrious group with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

"They were just shooting well tonight and they took advantage of us switching pick and rolls," said Nets center Brook Lopez, an offensive bright spot with 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting.

"They capitalized on any mistake we made, any double-team, and they made their 3-pointers," Nets interim coach Kiki Vandeweghe added. "Anytime you (the opposition) shoot(s) basically 60 percent for the game, you're not going to have much of a chance to win."

The only bright spot for the Nets was a late knee injury to Devin Harris (19 points, 11 assists) was deemed not serious by the speedy point guard.

The Nets, now 5-50, continued to struggle with their own shooting. Yi Jianlian was held to five points on 2-of-13 shooting. Jarvis Hayes was 2-of-10 overall and 1-of-8 from long range.

The Raptors (30-24) were without Bosh, the All-Star center who suffered a mild ankle sprain late in a 109-102 loss to Memphis on Wednesday. But they connected on 6-of-12 from 3-point land and would have had more of a rout had they not struggled from the line (14 of 25).

"We had seven guys in double figures and seven guys with five field goals each," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "We needed everyone to step up and we shared the basketball well.

"We were able to take advantage of the Nets' switching. We thought their switching was going to hurt us - and it did - but we were patient and we found a way to move the ball."

New Jersey did not challenge in the first half. The Raptors led 32-21 after one quarter, shooting 61 percent, compared to the Nets' 36.4 percent. They opened up an 18-point lead in the second quarter, settling in with a cozy 56-41 at the half. By that point, Nesterovic already had 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting, while Yi was 0-of-8 for one point.

"It was pretty remarkable," Jack said. "I think basketball is a game of rhythm and (Nesterovic) hasn't been in the lineup for a while. For him to come in and contribute when his numbers was called is really unbelievable. It's a testament to him - and of course me getting him the ball."

There was a brief reprieve for the Nets late in the third quarter, thanks to some improved defense. Toronto had opened it up to 61-41 early in the period on a Hedo Turkoglu 3-pointer before New Jersey finally chipped away. A Harris-to-Lopez alley-oop cut it to 69-61. A late Harris layup crept the Nets to a 77-71 deficit.

But the Raptors went on a 9-0 run from there - punctuated by a 3-pointer from Jose Calderon (16 points) at the end of the third quarter - to end any inkling of a Net comeback.

"That just killed the momentum," Vandeweghe said.

The Raptors improved to 3-0 against New Jersey this season. They also have scored 100 points or more in 19 straight games.

The Nets remained dormant during Wednesday's trading deadline and saw the cross-river rival Knicks taking the lead for most salary-cap room this summer with their moves. New Jersey figures to have around $23 million to spend on the bumper free-agent crop, while New York bumped its kitty to around $31 million.

Now it remains to be seen whether New Jersey will try to buy out some high-priced veterans who don't figure into its long-term plans. Seldom-used Bobby Simmons (who makes $11.24 million) and Tony Battie ($6.6 million) would seem to be candidates, but it would also seem unlikely they'd be willing to take less than what's coming to them.
