Raptors – Bucks 130-111: Poor performance in Milwaukee, looking for Antetokounmpo’s gazelle.

The Bucks suffered their second loss in four games of the 2023/24 season early Thursday (11/2), falling 130-111 in Toronto to the much more prepared Raptors for this game. The Milwaukee team came out of its base for the first time this year, and had a very ugly face in the first half in defense, creation and execution, and no matter how hard they tried in the second half, it was not easy to slow down the lead. Canadians.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been stuck in overall mediocrity for the Bucks (16 points, 4 rebounds in 27:41), Damian Lillard is still trying to adjust to the new situation and isn’t particularly threatening, Khris Middleton is still on the minutes limit and Brook Lopez has been… Very “heavy” at the beginning of the season. Malik Beasley was the only player to score 20 points (6/9 3-pointers) and he is a backup because he makes it easier to score from the perimeter.

For their part, the Raptors (2-3) fielded their entire starting lineup on a big night and pressured the Bucks to score on the bat and on easy points in the scrimmage. Schroder (24 points, 11 assists), Barnes (21 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists), Anunoby (16 points, 7/7 shooting), Siakam (26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists), Poeltl (14 Point, 11). Rebounding, 4 blocks) was great, good ball movement, high level execution and Darko Rajakovic saw good basketball for the first time this year.

The next opponent is the New York Knicks at Fiserv Forum, in the early hours of Saturday (11/4) at 02:30, in the first game of the newly formed In-Season tournament.

Giannis Antetokounmpo account

The game was not a success for him in the first half, as he fouled out one goal, two possessions and two turnovers in less than nine minutes. He played six more goals in the second half, didn’t score, didn’t get a rebound, tried to create chances for those around him, but he wasn’t himself and was clearly out of rhythm. He was more aggressive in the second half, pouncing on the Raptors’ defense when nothing was working for his team, but again he had a quiet night. However, he burdened the Raptors and in the time he stayed on the court, he wrote -10 in +/-.
