In the first of four games in their season series, the Toronto Raptors (30) remained undefeated against the Milwaukee Bucks (0 - 3) at home. The Raptors, rallying around a well - rounded performance from All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry in which he posted 15 points, 7 assists, and four steals, were able to maintain a steady lead on the visting Bucks throughout the game. Toronto thrived on the defensive end, forcing their opponents to turn the ball over 18 times and holding them to just 26 percent shooting from beyond the three - point line. The Raptors, despite being a bottom - 10 defense in 2014 - 15, have allowed an average of just 96 points to opponents in their first three games. Against the Bucks, the Raptors were able to effectively limit outside shooting, making it difficult for Milwaukee, a team that sometimes struggles with spacing, to pile up points. Despite the loss, the Bucks were able to take away strong performances from some young up - and - coming players. Third-year forward Giannis Antetenkoumpo posted his second 20 - point performance in as many games, while also recording 9 rebounds and a block. Offseason addition Greg Monroe also impressed, putting up 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and missing only two shots. However, as a team, Milwaukee struggled mightily from beyond the arc and had overall issues with efficiency, shooting just 42 percent from the field. While the Raptors will look to keep their good fortunes going on Tuesday in Dallas, Milwaukee will be in need of better luck. The Bucks will hope to snap a three - game losing streak as they travel to Brooklyn on Monday to face the Nets.
