"Tyrese Martin tried to save the Nets, turning in a 26-point night off the bench that came within four of his career high. Everything else, though, looked far too familiar. Brooklyn fell to 3-13 after another slow start, another frantic comeback and another fourth-quarter fade it couldn't shake. And once again, the trouble started almost immediately, with the Nets opening the night in a fog. Toronto, winners of six straight, came out sharper and tougher,"
"Clowney's force off the dribble helped Brooklyn regain its footing. He poured in nine of the Nets' first 14 points and, paired with a bump in defensive energy, dragged them back into the game. His surge sparked a 14-2 run that erased the early deficit midway through the quarter. But as Brooklyn relied on Clowney and Martin to keep the offense moving, Toronto countered with depth and balance."
Tyrese Martin delivered a 26-point performance off the bench while the Brooklyn Nets suffered another loss, dropping to 3-13. The game featured an immediate Toronto surge, a 12-0 start that forced an early timeout, before Noah Clowney's driving play and early scoring helped spark a Nets comeback. Brooklyn mounted a 14-2 run to erase the deficit, but Toronto's depth, balanced scoring and strong free-throw work kept them ahead. Brooklyn shot well in stretches, including Martin's strong first quarter and Porter Jr.'s second-quarter scoring, yet defensive lapses and late-game fade sealed the result.
