TORONTO -- At first glance, the Toronto Raptors appear to be an easy choice to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
The Raptors are 13-2 against the Bucks over the past four seasons, including victories in three of the four meetings between the teams this season.
"I didn't know that," Milwaukee star small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo said. "I haven't thought anything about that."
The Bucks do have something to take into the opener of the best-of-seven series at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday.
Milwaukee ended a seven-game losing streak to Toronto on March 4 with a 101-94 victory at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
