The Toronto Raptors (15 - 9) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (9 - 15) 90 - 83 on Friday. Milwaukee continues to struggle mightily with respect to scoring points, and came into Friday night's contest behind only the Sixers as the most impotent offense in the league. The Bucks were averaging 96 points per game before Friday's 83 - point effort, which marked the eighth time in the last nine games that they failed to reach the century mark on the scoreboard. Outside of Khris Middleton's team - high 26 points, the other four starters managed solid but unspectacular totals, and Milwaukee received a paltry 10 points from their bench over the 61 total minutes tallied by the reserves. Middleton's scoring haul represented a season - high for the shooting guard, whose previous best was the 21 points he'd posted on four different occasions. Prized offseason acquisition Greg Monroe mustered 13 points, seven rebounds, a pair of assists and three steals, a performance that would be considered underwhelming for a player who's demonsrated he's capable of much better production. Giannis Antetokounmpo filled out the stat sheet with 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists, a pair of steals and a block, while Jabari Parker managed 10 points, six rebounds and an assist. Veteran guard O.J. Mayo was the only starter in single digits, pitching in with nine points and adding four assists, three rebounds and three steals. The Bucks dropped to 9 - 15 and remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Central Division. They head home to face the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. Toronto was led by DeMar DeRozan, who posted a game - high 27 points, following a 28 - point outburst in a big victory over the Spurs on Wednesday. They did n't get much else from their starters, as Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola were next behind DeRozan with a pair of 12 - point efforts. The total represented a season - low figure for Lowry, who struggled considerably with his shot and drained only five of 16 attempts. Cory Joseph continued his trend of strong showings off the bench, pacing the Raptors reserves with 13 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block. Toronto improved to 15 - 9 and remains in first place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They will face the one - win Philadelphia 76ers in Toronto on Sunday.
