TORONTO - In the midst of another loss in a season that quickly has become lost, the Raptors at least provided a promising glimpse of the future on Wednesday night.
Ed Davis stepped in for the injured Andrea Bargnani — who will be out for some time — and was excellent, scoring a career-best 24 points, while rookie Jonas Valanciunas, nearly benched a week ago, had one of his stronger efforts.
The Raptors, now 4-19, played a strong first half, gave it all up in the third and rallied to make it close late, before eventually falling 94-88 to the 12-9 Brooklyn Nets.
