The Milwaukee Bucks are in a rut, simple and straightforward, as the Toronto Raptors came into the Fiserv Forum (with fans for the first time), beating Bud’s group 124-113. It’s your nocturnal memory that Jrue Holiday is out, and also important for this team.
NBA.com Box count
Milwaukee were in a hole to start as the smaller Toronto series took advantage of the Bucks size, but Bud’s team paid back the favor and tied it at 33 after one. No team found a way to get a lead in the second game as they walked at 64-piece at halftime. By the fourth quarter, the Bucks were trailing by just three, despite looking fainter compared to a now Kyle-Lowry-less Toronto Raptors. In the fourth time, the Bucks had the game within three, but they immediately coughed up six consecutive points behind a large group and could never recover from it. They will face Toronto again on Thursday.
Giannis exclaims with the Miles Plumlee tribute:
Stat that stood out
Given their size advantage, it’s relatively embarrassing that the Milwaukee Bucks won the paint fight by just four points, 50-46. Toronto played small all night, with Baynes coming together just 18 minutes, and yet Milwaukee could not attack that obvious mismatch strongly enough on the other side. The Raptors linked it to 17 three-pointers to pull away for the win.
