IT WAS OVER WHEN

The Raptors pulled their starters with 1:42 remaining and the Bucks ahead by 18 points. After holding a five-point lead at the half, Toronto scored just 32 points in the second half as Milwaukee picked up a 97-83 road win to take a 1-0 series lead.

Toronto took its time feeling things out in the first quarter of the series. The defence especially took time to arrive, as the Raptors allowed the Bucks to shot 52 percent in the opening quarter. Milwaukee was led by Giannis Antetokounmpo's seven points, and six points apiece from Tony Snell and Greg Monroe.
