"It's obviously a difficult situation, but a lot of teams are playing short-handed. You've got to play with the guys who are there," said Joe Harris, whose hot shooting got the Nets off to a good start. "At the start of the second half, we let them go on a few different runs." Playing at close to full strength for the first time in weeks with the return of veteran guards Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet, Toronto made 13 of 24 shots (54%) and outscored the Nets 36-23 in the third quarter. "OG got us going early, then Pascal got it going and we just continued to get better throughout the game," Lowry said. "We figured it out."
