Milwaukee and Toronto have now met three times this season. So far, the Bucks are winning 2-1, but the Raptors had the upper hand Saturday, claiming a 123-116 victory.
Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam had stellar offensive performances, contributing 30 points apiece. Serge Ibaka was right behind them with 25.
Giannis Antetokounmpo did everything he could to keep Milwaukee in the game, but it wasn't enough. The Greek Freak had 43 points and 18 rebounds in a losing effort.
The Bucks dropped to 27-11 but remain the top team in the East. Toronto's 29-12 record is good for second. The final regular season matchup between these two teams will come on Jan. 31, and it should be a good one.
