TORONTO — \u2014 RJ Barrett<\/a> scored 26 points, Scottie Barnes<\/a> had 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his ninth career triple-double, and the Toronto Raptors<\/a> clinched their first playoff berth in four seasons by beating the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> 136-101 on Sunday in the regular-season finale for both teams.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s loss to Miami and Orlando\u2019s loss at Boston gave Toronto the fifth seed in the East and a first-round matchup with fourth-seeded Cleveland.<\/p>\n

The Raptors and Hawks both finished 46-36 but Toronto swept the season series 4-0. <\/p>\n

Toronto went 3-0 against the Cavaliers this season but the teams haven\u2019t played since Nov. 24.<\/p>\n

Tyson Etienne<\/a> led the Nets with 20 points, E.J. Liddell<\/a> scored 17 points, Chaney Johnson<\/a> had 16 points and 13 rebounds and Ben Saraf<\/a> scored 15 points. <\/p>\n
