The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors in a lopsided game, showcasing their superior three-point shooting and strong team performance. Despite the return of key players for Toronto, the Bucks' dominance proved too much to overcome.
"We have to do a better job, straight up," said Barrett, who returned from missing three games because of the flu to score a team-leading 25 points.
"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.
"They're a good three-point shooting team," Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said."As a team, they're third best in percentage in the whole league and they have one of the best players won for the fourth time in nine starts since claiming the NBA Cup three weeks ago.with a video scoreboard tribute at the beginning of the second quarter. He spent three years with the Raptors before signing with the Bucks as a free agent last summer. He scored 17 in his return.
BASELINES: Antetokounmpo needed three stitches to close a cut near the base of his right pinky on Monday night, and returned to the game. Antetokounmpo banged his finger on the rim while trying to chase down Barrett’s fast-break dunk late in the second quarter. Antetokounmpo said his finger was"kind of numb,' but insisted he was fine.
