It doesn’t get much tougher to swallow than riding high atop the entire NBA to being brought right back to earth in a span of four hours.
Lamenting Milwaukee’s weekend defeat at the hands of the Toronto Raptors is well and good, though it should be mentioned that a single loss in early January a season does not make.
Still, to fall short in a spotlight game against an Eastern Conference darling in the Raps should be a disappointment. Giannis Antetokounmpo gave the team 43 points, 18 rebounds, and four assists (not to mention the rarest of 3-5 lines from three), yet the Bucks failed to capitalize.
