The Toronto Raptors felt “ambushed” when they were met by a crazy, loud crowd at Milwaukee’s BMO Harris Bradley Center last week.
Nearly 18,000 Milwaukee fans, every bit as loud — if not louder — than the Air Canada Centre crowd that is credited with giving the Raptors a major home-court advantage, rattled the Raptors in the first NBA playoff game in Milwaukee and were in no small part responsible for the Bucks getting off to a blazing Game 3 start that ended up in a ridiculously easy win.
Now, however, the Raptors contend they know what to expect when Game 6 of the series unfolds there on Thursday night, and they vow they’ll handle it much better.
