TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors have been here before, down 1-0 in a first-round playoff series.
After the Milwaukee Bucks earned a 97-83 victory Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre, the Raptors are 0-9 in opening games of first-round playoff series. They are 1-11 in Game 1 overall.
The Bucks go into Game 2 on Tuesday night knowing they can do no worse than a split before the series returns to Milwaukee.
It is one thing to lose, but the way the Raptors played in the second half of Game 1 was surprisingly poor.
