Raptors lock down in second half, winning over Milwaukee 117-111
Most of the talk around the Toronto Raptors this season has been about the play of Fred VanVleet, and with good reason. VanVleet hasn’t just risen out of the shadow of Kyle Lowry, he’s redefined the Raptors point guard position in his own image — shooting better than at any point in his career and showing off a true game-breaker ability, even at 5’10”.
The Raptors have needed VanVleet through a lot of turmoil this season. Injuries, COVID-19 and an inconsistent supporting cast has necessitated Fred carrying a heavy load. He leads the Raptors in minutes, and his advanced numbers leave no doubt that he should be the team’s one representative in Cleveland at the All-Star Game.
