Nets have eight assists on 11 baskets, lead 23-17. Kevin Durant with 12 points in eight minutes. A.J. Griffin, who went to high school at nearby Archbishop Stepinac in White Plains, has eight for the hawks. Son of Raptors assistant/Seton Hall’s own Adrian Griffin. – 7:56 PM

Markelle Fultz looked to take an awkward fall and came up limping. He grabbed toward his right foot and checked out of the game. He is on the bench getting evaluated. – 7:49 PM

Struck me as a quarter where the Raptors’ defensive aggression hurt them. Too much reaching, let to guys being out of place. combine that with some unlikely 3s, and they trail 37-25 after 1. – 7:34 PM

Nick Nurse said Otto Porter Jr. has an appt. with a specialist re: his dislocated second toe next week and is hopeful it will bring some good news regarding his return to play. He is still not doing on-court work. Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is targetting late December for a return. – 6:38 PM
