Raptors end 11-game losing streak! Barnes scores 33 points to lead 130-113 win over Nets

On January 2, the NBA regular season continued, with the Toronto Raptors playing at home against the Brooklyn Nets. Thanks to the comprehensive performance of Scottie Barnes, the Raptors defeated the Nets 130-113, not only ending the disappointing 11-game losing streak, but also sending the opponent into a three-game losing streak. In this game, Barnes contributed 33 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, becoming the absolute hero of the Raptors' victory .

At the beginning of the game, both sides quickly entered the state, and the score was chasing each other. Nets new player D'Angelo Russell performed brilliantly after coming off the bench. He not only helped the team establish a lead at the end of the first quarter, but also showed a high degree of integration. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets had a slight advantage.

In the second quarter, the Raptors suddenly exerted their strength and played a wave of offensive climax, scoring 39 points in a single quarter and quickly overtaking the score. Barnes' performance in this quarter was particularly eye-catching, breaking through the basket many times and using accurate mid-range shots to open up space. The Raptors entered the second half with a leading advantage.

In the third quarter, the Raptors continued their hot hand and opened up the score again. Quickley and Dick's outside play injected strong firepower into the team. The two of them hit many three-pointers together and expanded the score difference to double digits. Although the Nets tried hard to catch up under Russell's organization, Cameron Johnson also contributed a team-high 24 points, but they were unable to narrow the gap.

In the final quarter, the Raptors still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and Barnes and his teammates cooperated tacitly to continuously expand their lead. The Nets seemed exhausted and ultimately unable to turn the tide, and the game ended with a score of 130-113.
