OG Anunoby was the hero for the Raptors, and finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds in a very solid game overall.

The Brooklyn Nets hired Steve Nash as their coach Thursday, putting the Hall of Fame point guard in charge of the team that hopes to have Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving together next season.
