Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Toronto Raptors
The Milwaukee Bucks couldn’t stop the Toronto Raptors’ hot offense, giving up 118 points and the series lead in a disappointing loss.
The Milwaukee Bucks looked outmatched and overwhelmed at all points on Thursday night. While they did enough to not get completely knocked out until late in the game, they couldn’t put together a big enough run to overcome the Toronto Raptors.
Once again back in Toronto, the Raptors put on a show for their home crowd fans.
As a team they shot 57.7 percent from the field, 44.4 percent from three, and 92.3 percent from the free throw line. They posted by far their highest offensive rating in the series, and while by no means a perfect effort, it was more than enough to put away the Bucks.

Many people in the sports world that hadn’t watched Milwaukee basketball this season made claims that the Bucks were a one man band, much in the way that Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook carried his team this season.
This wasn’t generally the case for the regular season, but it may have been last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a good game, but unfortunately wasn’t joined by many other Bucks in that category.
While this was a major let down of a game, there’s still information to be digested from it. Let’s look at what happened in Game 5 and go through some takeaways.
