Toronto knocked off the division rival Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, claiming a 105-89 victory.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Star point guard Kyle Lowry had 20 points and 12 assists in that game, while center Jonas Valanciunas racked up 16 points and 10 rebounds, as the Raptors reached the 20-win mark quicker than any squad in franchise history.<\/p>\n Things didn\u2019t go quite so well for the Pistons in their last contest. Detroit fell by a score of 117-106 to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday in what was their 11th consecutive loss at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The last time they lost that many consecutive games at home was 1966-67.<\/p>\n Point guard Brandon Jennings scored 13 points against the Mavericks after averaging 4.7 points per game over a seven-game stretch, failing to reach double digits in any of those contests.

Additionally, both sides figure to get their points in this one, as his often been the case when these divisions face off.<\/p>\n\n
