The Nets played the Raptors on the road. Yuta Watanabe, who had been sidelined due to injury, became the first Nets player to play at the Scotiabank Arena, the old home of the Raptors. In the game, the Nets were down by as many as 18 points, 44-66, midway through the second quarter, but the Nets took the lead for the first time midway through the third quarter and extended their lead to 103-95 with 6:12 remaining, thanks to Kyrie Irving's performance. From there, the Raptors held on, and a 3-point play off a drive by Barnes made it a one-point game, and Barnes scored again with 36 seconds left to put the Raptors back in front. On the next play, a pass from Kyrie Irving led to a clutch 3-pointer by a wide-open Yuta Watanabe to give the Nets a 114-116 lead, but Barnes made both free throws on the next play to tie the game 116-116. With 3 seconds left in the game, Kyrie Irving made a great buzzer beater on the last play to win 116-119. It was a dramatic victory, reversing an 18-point deficit, the largest of the season.
Kyrie Irving scored 32 points. Kevin Durant scored 28 points. Claxton had a career-high six blocks, 15 points, and 10 rebounds. Yuta Watanabe, who made a valuable 3-pointer in the win, scored 17 points. The Nets, who are 9-1 in their last 10 games, play their next game away against the Detroit Pistons.
