Raptors best Bucks to move into first place again

MILWAUKEE—How would they react, we wondered? How would the Toronto Raptors put the ugliness of Thursday behind them? How would questions about their preparation or lack thereof, their discipline or lack thereof, their intensity or lack thereof be answered?

Turns out they handled it all pretty well.

With an offensive showing that was the team’s best in weeks and with a gritty, physical defence that had been missing, Toronto pulled off an impressive road win, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 123-116 on Saturday to reclaim first place overall in the NBA.
