Basketball is a game of runs, and through two games, this Milwaukee-Toronto series is no different. Painful, anxiety-inducing, sweat-it-out runs. In Game 2, the Raptors managed to rip off four significant runs, which was one too many for the Bucks to claw back from.
Kyle Lowry’s jumper was the clincher, and his play was the headline story of the Raptors’ 106-100 win. The subhead, though, was Serge Ibaka. Coming in with a bum ankle, Ibaka played 36 minutes and had 16 points, seven rebounds, and six assists — all of the helpers coming in the second half.
