Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 122-119 win over Toronto Raptors

C. Dwane Casey was adamant after the game that this wasn’t a night when his team deserved to win. While those in the Raptors’ media and the wider fanbase were quick to explain the loss as an almost unavoidable byproduct of hot-shooting for the Bucks and an off-night for Toronto, that isn’t really what the numbers bear out. <p>The Raptors were bullied on the boards, losing that battle 51-37. And while the Bucks’ 50 percent from deep towers over Toronto’s 26.5 percent, the actual difference was just four makes. That’s certainly not an insurmountable difference on any given night, and even less so when the Bucks gifted the Raptors a season-high 21 turnovers with which to bridge that gap.</p> <p>Toronto couldn’t take advantage, though. Just as in spite of specialists like Pascal Siakam and <a href=. Eastern Conference. 41-17. TORONTO RAPTORS
