The Brooklyn Nets small forward Yuta Watanabe scored 17 points against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. He hit 6 of 7 from the floor and 3 of 4 from behind the arc – including a go-ahead corner 3-pointer with 15 seconds left on a kick out from Kyrie Irving. 

“Last two games. I wasn’t shooting well, so I was it was good to see my shot go in,” Watanabe said. “Again, I really appreciate my teammates just kept telling me to shoot with a confident. So yeah, it was a team effort.” 

“Ky got the ball. He just drove. I was wide open. He found me. He gave me a great pass.”
