The Official Fan Site Of The Milwaukee Bucks!
Milwaukee, Wi – The Bucks faced the Toronto Raptors for the first time since the Eastern Conference Finals and the team from the North looked a little different. Kawhi Leonard is now in Los Angeles but the Dinosaurs still got fight in them.
Milwaukee beat the Raptors 115-105 as the Greek Freak scored 36 points and 15 rebounds and the Bucks are now 4-2. Milwaukee now heads to Minnesota on Monday to face a hot young Timberwolves team.
Milwaukee, Wi – Tonight matched what is quickly becoming a Eastern Conference rivalry as the Milwaukee Bucks faced the Toronto Raptors. This game had all the making of a playoff type game and very well could be an Eastern Conference final preview. The Raptors came into town without All Star point guard Kyle Lowry who is still nursing an injury.
Toronto took control of this game in the 3rd quarter and was able to hold off a 4th quarter run from the Bucks and get a much needed win. Giannis’s 44 points and 18 rebounds was in a wasted effort and was not enough to lift Milwaukee to the win.
Milwaukee ends the home stand on Monday vs the Jazz at 7pm before heading to Houston before a Wednesday game against the red hot Rockets.
Milwaukee crossed the border today to play the number one in the East seeded Toronto Raptors. Last time they played the Bucks didn’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Raptors didn’t have Kawhi Leonard. In that game the Bucks won 124-109. These two players were currently viewed by most experts as the leading MVP candidates so far this season. So with each of the Super Stars playing tonight it was a real test for each teams.
Tonights game did not disappoint as the top teams in the East went down to the wire at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. Malcom Brogdon hit 2 huge three point shots down the wire to tie the game and give the Bucks the lead. Milwaukee help on to get the win and move one game out of Toronto for the number one seed in the east!
Buck return to Milwaukee Monday to face the Cavs and see John Henson and Matthew Dellavedova for the first time since they traded them on Friday!
Tonight was a matchup of the only two undefeated teams in the NBA. The only thing was the Greek Freak and The Claw didn’t play. For the Bucks the theme was, No Giannis, No Problem. On a Monday night in Milwaukee the Bucks handled business and ended the night as the only undefeated team in the league.
The Bucks ability to space the floor and shoot from long range is making this an entertaining team to watch. The coach has them playing at a high level and there feeling like a serious threat in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks again tied a team record with 19 three’s in a game for the second time in a week. Giannis watched and should be proud to know that the organization has put a team around him that that can compete and do damage!
