The Toronto Raptors (10 - 2) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (7 - 6) 124 - 83 on Friday. Toronto has won three straight games and are defining themselves as a contender to win the Eastern Conference this season. Kyle Lowry paced the Raptors on Friday. He put up 20 points and nine rebounds in 26 minutes. Toronto has had some gimmies in the early part of their schedule, but that wo n't be the case Saturday as they travel to Cleveland to take on LeBron James and the Cavaliers. Milwaukee has been one of the darlings of the NBA so far this season. They're playing better than any expert expected, and that's why Friday's drubbing at the hands of the Raptors was more of a surprise than it would have been in the past. Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) was originally ruled out but was given the green light by coach Jason Kidd to come off the bench and play limited minutes. Milwaukee is on a back - to - back set. They'll host the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
