Deportes Canada - Los Raptors Rompen su Racha de 11 Derrotas con una Victoria de 130-113 Sobre los Nets. Este partido también marcó el regreso de Immanuel Quickley, quien había estado fuera durante 22 juegos por lesiones.
Quickley empezó con fuerza como escolta, mientras Scottie Barnes brillaba con su habilidad en la cancha. Jakob Poeltl dominó la pintura y Gradey Dick estuvo preciso desde el triple.
RJ Barrett estuvo ausente por una enfermedad, pero los Raptors no perdieron el ritmo. El novato Ja'Kobe Walter aportó energía desde el banquillo, mientras los suplentes como Davion Mitchell, Jamal Shead y el canadiense Chris Boucher también se destacaron.
Brooklyn pareció algo perdido, pero los Raptors jugaron con enfoque y profundidad. Si mantienen esta consistencia, podrían lograr un gran cambio.
El próximo partido es contra Orlando el viernes 3 de enero. ¿Será este el comienzo de una gran remontada?

The Raptors finally broke their 11-game losing streak last night, starting 2025 on a high note with a big win against the Brooklyn Nets. It was also the return of Immanuel Quickley, who’d been out for 22 games this season due to injuries.
Quickley hit the ground running as a shooting guard, while Scottie Barnes was everywhere, showing off his skills. Jakob Poeltl held it down in the paint, and Gradey Dick’s three-point accuracy was on point.
RJ Barrett was out with an illness, but the Raptors didn’t miss a beat. Rookie Ja’Kobe Walter brought energy off the bench, and backups like Davion Mitchell, Jamal Shead, and Montreal’s Chris Boucher stepped up big time.
Brooklyn looked a little lost, but the Raptors played with focus and depth. If they keep this squad consistent, things could turn around quickly.
Next game is against Orlando on Friday, January 3. Could this be the start of a big comeback?
