The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors 128-104 in a convincing victory at Scotiabank Arena. Despite the Raptors starting lineup featuring RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickly, Jakob Poeltl, and Gradey Dick for the first time this season, the Bucks outplayed them in every aspect. Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded a triple-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists, while Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis added 25 and 20 points respectively. The Bucks' strong three-point shooting, hitting 22 of 44 attempts, proved to be a key factor in their victory.

“Tonight wasn’t about us getting used to each other. I don’t think we played hard enough, from top to bottom. We have to figure it out. There’s no excuse for what’s happening right now. We all have to be better.”Barrett’s return, coupled with Quickley’s recent comeback after he missed 30 of the team’s first 33 games, was supposed to produce a more competitive Raptors roster.
But Antetokounmpo, who was questionable with a sore knee, played only 28 minutes. As a result, he saw his 20-plus point streak in his 27 games this season stopped. Many of his assists were the result of Damian Lillard’s sharpshooting. He scored 25 points, including five three-pointers. Bobby Portis chipped in 20 more.Lillard’s offensive output arrived in only 26 minutes of playing time.The Bucks led 28-19 after the first quarter, 66-47 at halftime, and 99-75 after the third.
