The Toronto Raptors ended their five-game losing skid with a workmanlike victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. On a night when Kyle Lowry was named to the All-Star team as a backup, our brilliant point guard led his team in points, assists, and determination.
The Raps looked like they were on their way to yet another desultory start to a game, down 6 after 4+ minutes. Then then floor tilted dramatically in the home team’s favour. The Bucks made more turnovers than baskets, and the Raps made them pay, going on a 22-2 run. The quarter ended with Toronto up 17.
