Beijing time on December 15th! The NBA regular season continues today, with the Nets sitting at home against the Raptors. Before the game, the Nets officially announced that team guards James Harden and Bruce Brown triggered the league's health and safety agreement. On the final offense in the fourth quarter, Patty Mills hit a three-pointer, and then the Raptors missed the attack, and the Raptors Nets went into overtime. The game ended with the Nets beating the Raptors 131-129.
The Nets had seven players in the health and safety pact in this game: Paul Millsap, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Bemburi, Jevon Carter, James Johnson, James Harden, and Bruce Brown. Coupled with the failure of Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris to play, the Nets have only 8 players left to play today.
Large-scale absence, this game the Nets are also more difficult to play. Especially when the game came to the second half, the Raptors played a super offensive climax in the third quarter. After Barnes hit a bottom-corner three-pointer, the Raptors hit a 20-5 spurt and the Nets were forced to request a timeout. Throughout the third quarter, the Raptors scored 44 points and the Nets scored 25 points. A quarter-by-quarter 44 points is also the highest single-quarter score of the season.
