Pick your poison.
Toronto was able to lock down most of Milwaukee’s starters in last night’s opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals, but the margin for error at this stage of the postseason is razor thin. For the Raptors, the aforementioned poison ended up being Brook Lopez, who helped his Bucks secure the win with a big fourth quarter.
In Milwaukee’s case, Kyle Lowry was their poison, as they elected to lock down Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam, but Lowry’s 30 points weren’t enough.
Raptor fans may complain of a missed opportunity, but we couldn’t help but discuss the many positive takeaways from Game 1.
