By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Spanish forward Serge Ibaka had a solid double-double (20 p. 13 r.), Pascal Siakam scored 26 points and Fred VanVleet added 22 points as the Toronto Raptors got the easy 117-92 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

The defending champions lead with 3-0 and need one more “W” in order to qualify for the East semifinals. Toronto dominated by shooting 50,5% from the field and keeping the shorthanded Nets to 33,3%.

Joe Harris was also missing, Tyler Johnson tried his best with 23 points, but French standout Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot scored just 10 points on 3/18 shots.

Latvian Rodion Kurucs added six points and Bosnian Djanan Musa had two points for the losing side, while Spanish star Marc Gasol had also an off night for the Raptors with just three points on 1/7 field goals and also six assists and five rebounds.
