Raptors Rout Nets 116-86, Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

The Toronto Raptors achieved their largest win of the season with a decisive 116-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, propelled by Orlando Robinson's standout performance of 23 points and 12 rebounds. This win marks the Raptors' second consecutive victory as they attempt to improve their position in the NBA Draft Lottery, currently holding the seventh-worst record. Rookie Jonathan Mogbo also shined off the bench with 16 points, while RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes contributed 15 points each. Toronto dominated the rebounding battle, outpacing Brooklyn 63-43 and capitalizing on the Nets' 20 turnovers, which allowed them to score 30 points. The Nets continued to struggle, suffering their fifth straight defeat and falling deeper into a disappointing season. As the Raptors pursue a brighter future, their recent performances, particularly from rookies like Mogbo, suggest a potentially successful draft ahead.
