The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Raptors continued to air grievances on the eve of Game 2.

In this edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we dive even deeper into reactions and analysis from the Game 1 win over the Toronto Raptors, and take a look at the key quotes and talking points (mostly emanating from Toronto) heading into Game 2.

As the Bucks prepare for the second contest of their first round series, they do so with all momentum on their side, no pressure, and the Raptors desperately searching for answers. Could the Bucks possibly return home up 2-0?

Whatever way the game turns out, the best place to get all of the reaction tomorrow morning will be here on Behind the Buck Pass. This daily column will link up most of the instant analysis from us and elsewhere around the internet to start off the morning, while more detailed analysis will follow up throughout the day.
