The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the visiting Toronto Raptors 101 - 94, at BMO Harris Bradley Center, on Saturday evening. The Raptors held the Bucks to a season - low 12 first quarter points, but the Bucks retaliated with a 41 - point second quarter, and took a 53 - 42 lead into halftime. Milwaukee went on to hold the lead, as the Raptors were not able to get anything going. Khris Middleton led the way for the Bucks (28 - 33) with 24 points on 9 - of - 14 shooting, in 30 minutes, while Giannis Antetokounmpo followed up with 21 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Spencer Hawes came up huge in 17 minutes off the bench, as he poured in 16 points on 6 - of - 7 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds. The only other player to score in double digits for Milwaukee was Malcolm Brogdon, who chipped in 17 points. The Bucks managed to come away with the win despite shooting 6 - of - 27 from long range and 44 percent from the field. They will look to build on this win as they go on to visit Philadelphia on Monday. Meanwhile, the Raptors (37 - 26) shot a bit better from the field but lost the battle on the glass, where they allowed Milwaukee nine offensive rebounds. DeMar DeRozan really struggled, shooting 5 - of - 13 from the field, as he looked burnt out, perhaps as a result of being overworked in the absence of Kyle Lowry. Serge Ibaka led the way for Toronto with 19 points and five rebounds, while Cory Joseph followed up with 14 points, eight assists and five rebounds. DeMarre Carroll went down in the third quarter with a sprained ankle and did not return. The Raptors will look to bounce back as they visit New Orleans on Wednesday, in what will be the third game of a five - game road trip.
