Milwaukee’s road success goes beyond the Great White North as they tied with the Golden State Warriors for the best road record throughout the season and they have won all four of their road playoff games so far by a 58-point differential.
Of course, there’s plenty of pressure facing Toronto as they look to reverse the trends that have defined this series so far through two games.
Their response in Game 2 following their fourth quarter collapse to kick off the opening game of the series didn’t exactly reignite any hope that the Raptors could eventually find the necessary adjustments and improvements that are needed to take down the Bucks for four games.
Now with a 2-0 deficit, the Raptors’ challenge has only gotten much steeper and their fans will certainly be hoping for a more urgent and emphatic response, the likes of which they failed to deliver Friday night.
So without further ado, let’s preview Game 3 of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference Finals series with the Toronto Raptors, starting with an outlook on the Raptors down 2-0.
