The Toronto Raptors play the Brooklyn Nets in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoffs on Friday at Orlando.

After convincing win in Game 1, the Raptors got out to a shaky start in Game 2, as they trailed by as many as 14 points in the first quarter and by six points heading into the final frame. However, the Raptors took over in the fourth and outscored the Nets by 11 points in the quarter to complete the comeback win and earn a 2-0 series advantage. If they can stay focused and build on the momentum, they have a great chance at putting the clamps on the series with a 3-0 lead.

Fred VanVleet came up large again in Game 2, as he led the way with 24 points, 10 assists, five rebounds and a block, in 43 minutes. Norman Powell tallied 24 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal, off the bench, while Kyle Lowry added 21 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. Pascal Siakam shot 6-of-14 from the field, and finished with 19 points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. The Raptors shot just 9-of-35 from deep and 19-of-28 from the foul in Game 2, which means that they have plenty of room for improvement heading into Game 3.

Meanwhile, despite the loss, the Nets put up a good effort in game Game 2, as six players scored in double digits. Garrett Temple was the high-point man with 21 points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal. Caris LeVert had another strong game with 16 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and a block, while Jarrett Allen totaled 14 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. The Nets gave up 17 turnovers, which were converted in to 23 points in Game 2, which is an area they need to target for improvement before Game 3.
