Having lost 6 of their last 7 games, the Milwaukee Bucks started a daunting 5-game stretch tonight against the Eastern Conference’s second-best squad. Some of us hoped that the Bucks would realize the impact this stretch may have on their season. But even while missing All Star starting SG DeMar DeRozan (ankle sprain), the Toronto Raptors easily took care of business against Milwaukee 102-86.
Every Milwaukee player had their own struggles this evening, even the team’s two cornerstones. Jabari Parker (21 points / 13 rebounds) made the biggest contributions, but was a -19 on the evening.
