Deron Williams: 'Brooklyn Nets have a sense of urgency'

Deron Williams has said that the Brooklyn Nets' latest defeat to the Toronto Raptors gives them a "sense of urgency" ahead of the sixth game of their playoff series.

The 115-113 win for the Raptors gives them a 3-2 lead in the seven-game series, leaving the Nets needing to win the two remaining games to reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

The point guard told reporters: "[Kyle Lowry] was definitely carrying them in the first half. He's just tough to guard when he gets like that. He's got a lot of confidence right now.

"We've just got to play with a sense of urgency. We have to now. If we lose, we're done."

The teams meet again in Brooklyn tomorrow.
