Nets thumped by hapless Raptors despite D’Angelo Russell’s big night in first game back

TORONTO — The Raptors were on the longest losing skid in the NBA.

Then the Nets showed them how losing is done.

Brooklyn got thoroughly outplayed by a Raptors team that had been playing arguably the worst basketball in the NBA, taking a 130-113 thrashing before 19,104 at Scotiabank Arena.

Even 22 points and eight ᴀssists off the bench from D’Angelo Russell in his (second) Nets debut couldn’t save them.
