BUCKS IN SIX? Channeling whatever spirit was left from that Fear The Deer Run, and wearing their similarly titled black with green-trim jerseys, Milwaukee ran over the Toronto Raptors to claim a surprising 1-0 series lead with a 97-83 win. Toronto lost their ninth straight game one in the playoffs, and Milwaukee found its first game one win on the road since 1983.
Giannis Antetokounmpo spent the game looking like the best player on the floor, blasting through Raptors’ defenders for 28 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. Buoyed by a powerful playoff debut from Greg Monroe (14 points and 15 rebounds) and quiet contributions from Tony Snell (11 points, three assists) and Khris Middleton (10 points, nine assists), Milwaukee pulled off the upset.
