MILWAUKEE—Out of nowhere it seemed to come, a 12-minute stretch of absolute Jonas Valanciunas domination, a shot-making, shot-blocking flurry that turned a close game into a rout and reminded some that the seven-foot Lithuanian can do some damage now and then.
Operating at will against a non-existent interior defence, Valanciunas went off for 20 points and nine rebounds in the third quarter alone here Friday night as the Raptors drubbed the Milwaukee Bucks 129-110 to extend their latest win streak to four games.
It was a shocking quarter from Valanciunas, who had played only four minutes in the first half because of foul trouble.
