TORONTO — In what coach Nick Nurse called one of the craziest games of his career, the Toronto Raptors almost pulled off the unlikeliest of victories.
They scored 12 points in the first quarter. And 18 in the final 74 seconds of regulation. But their furious finish fell just short in a 104-101 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
"I don't think I've seen one that weird," Nurse said. "I don’t really know what to say as far as the offence goes and not being able to put the ball in … I do know what to say about the defence: the defence kept on plugging and plugging and plugging all the way.
