Finale

After a thrilling Game 1, Milwaukee Bucks fans are ready and eager to get to Game 2 on Tuesday night. The Bucks looked amazing in their first taste of the NBA Playoffs since 2015, and look to capitalize on a shaky Toronto start.

Being confident from their win on Saturday could help the Bucks, but coach Jason Kidd is certainly working to keep his team focused and ready for the rest of the series. Both teams will have made adjustments after feeling each other out a bit in their first game.

Will the Raptors prove that Game 1 was just a flukey loss for them, given their weird inability to win Game 1’s, or can the Bucks prove that they earned their victory by throwing down another one in Toronto? Tuesday will bring an answer to both of those questions, and it should be a fascinating matchup.
