MILWAUKEE -- Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol claimed responsibility for his team's poor performance in its 125-103 loss on Friday to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.
"The beginning [of the game] set us in a really bad spot," Gasol said. "We couldn't get a grip of the game early on, and I take full responsibility for that."
With the loss, the Raptors now trail the Bucks 2-0, as the series moves to Toronto for Game 3 on Sunday.
After being nipped by Milwaukee in the closing minutes of Game 1 on Wednesday night, the Raptors sputtered out of the gate in Game 2.
