Kyrie and company roll past Raptors
Mercurial guard scores 29 to pace balanced Nets effort
Kyrie Irving had his best game since returning from his infamous suspension, and the rest of the Brooklyn Nets followed suit in Toronto Wednesday.
Irving led five Nets starters in double figures with 29 points as Brooklyn celebrated Thanksgiving Eve with a 112-98 triumph over the Raptors in front of a sellout crowd of 19,800 at Scotiabank Arena.
“Feels incredible. It was a total team effort,” gushed Irving, who missed eight games earlier this month while serving a team-imposed punishment for posting a link to an antisemitic documentary.
Playing his third game since returning, Irving went 11-of-16 from the floor, including 5-of-8 from 3-point range.
