Toronto Raptors Team Report - December 7

(Basketball News) - The Toronto Raptors fell to the New Jersey Nets, 88-86, on Monday at Continental Airlines Arena.

Vince Carter returned from a one-game absence as a result of food poisoning and led the Raptors with 22 points. However, his potential game-tying basket at the buzzer bounced out and Toronto was handed its fourth straight setback.

Chris Bosh ended with 15 points for the Raptors, who are 1-4 on their current six-game road trip. Donyell Marshall and Lamond Murray each had 13 points off the bench for Toronto, which has dropped three straight and 13 of 17 to the Nets.

Bosh has scored in double-digits in three straight games. He is averaging 13.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in that span.

The Raptors are off until Wednesday when they visit the Detroit Pistons. Earlier this season, Toronto defeated the Pistons, 101-89, on November 5 at Air Canada Centre
