The proverbial hump felt all too real for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. For every Bucks run, Toronto had an acrobatic answer ready as they staved off Milwaukee’s advances all night to win 105-99.
Giannis showed out with another gargantuan game (29 points, six rebounds, 11 assists) including 16 points in the fourth to keep the Bucks within striking distance. Besides his typical gravity-defying dunks, Jabari Parker was quiet with 14 points on 6-14 shooting. Tony Snell chipped in 16 points including 4-10 from deep. Toronto’s dynamic duo, DeMar DeRozan (26 points, seven rebounds) and Kyle Lowry (19 points, six assists) kept Toronto ahead for almost the entirety of the final three quarters.
