Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 115-108 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
One — Fight: The Raptors gave it their best shot and they were in the game right until the final whistle. Sure, they were chasing most of the way, but that’s normal against a better team. This type of effort would be enough to beat most teams, except the Bucks are at worst the third-best team in the East. The only regret is that the Raptors haven’t summoned this level of intensity on a regular basis, because their record would be a lot better than 7-11, and one understandable loss against the Bucks wouldn’t sting as much.
