What a wild 48 hours it’s been for your proverbial Toronto Raptors stock. After getting shellacked by the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, the Raptors rebounded for their best win of the season just two days later. At Milwaukee without Kyle Lowry or Jonas Valanciunas, that was impressive. The Raptors survived an unhuman performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, pulling out the victory 123-116.
Early on, it was all Milwaukee. The Bucks jumped out to a fast start, grabbing a seven-point lead within the first five minutes. Toronto kept calm, climbed back, and by halftime the lead was down to one.
