In the first NBA Cup action of the year, the Milwaukee Bucks knocked off the Toronto Raptors, 99-85.
With Damian Lillard sidelined due to the concussion protocol, Milwaukee trotted out a unique starting lineup that consisted of AJ Green and Ryan Rollins. Despite the unfamiliarity among the starting five, the Bucks still pieced together a strong start. However, the young-flying Raptors hung around, slicing the deficit to 26-21 going into the second quarter.
The 3-point disparity between the two teams shaped up to be pretty telling between the two teams as the second quarter continued.
