Two of the East’s best teams came into Sunday night hoping to answer their struggles. The Raptors had lost two of their last three games — their lone win coming over a tough Sixers team — with their bench and three-point shooting still at the forefront of their problems. On the other hand, the Bucks had lost four of their last seven and were looking to answer their road woes (4-5 on the road this season).
The first half was a tale of two quarters, in which the Raptors’ two problems mentioned above persisted and the Bucks squeezed a 51-49 lead to the locker room.
