The Bucks dropped a game that was surprisingly close on Saturday, considering their offense looked lifeless at best.
In a game the home crowd will be eager to forget, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Toronto Raptors 87-76.
Credit should go to the Raptors, who bounced back from their embarrassing loss two nights before, but the Bucks looked flat all game, and their offense couldn’t generate anything as they posted their lowest score of the series.
The game was an ugly one, through and through, as both teams had their fair share of struggles and frustrations. It was low scoring, not thanks to defensive excellence, but due to both teams ineptitude on offense.

While the Raptors scored 10 more points than their previous outing, that had more to do with making their shots, than improving the quality of those shots.
On the other hand, the Bucks offense looked completely uninspired. Lazy passing and low percentage shots prevented the Bucks from scoring. Despite all of this, the game still came down to the last few minutes hanging in the balance.
Some big changes from Toronto mean that there’s plenty to unpack from this game, and several key takeaways for us to go over.
