Toronto Raptors 87, BROOKLYN NETS 79
Game 4, Eastern Conference First Round
The Nets huge comeback from a 17-point deficit was negated when they went 3-for-17 from the floor in the final period, allowing the Raptors to take back home-court advantage in the series.

After Brooklyn rallied to take a 77-73 lead midway through the fourth quarter, the Raptors closed the game on 14-2 run and held the Nets without a field goal over the final 6:11 of the game.

DeMar DeRozan had 24 points for Toronto, Kyle Lowry added 22 and Amir Johnson tossed in 17, with Greivis Vasquez coming off the bench to hand out nine assists.

Paul Pierce paced the Nets with 22 points and Alan Anderson had three steals.

Game 5 is Wednesday north of the border.
