PLAYOFFS!!!!
Game 1: The Bucks stifle the Raptors in the second half, holding them to 32 points, and steal Game 1 in Toronto, 97-83 behind 28 from Giannis. Brogdon adds 16, Monroe grabs 15 boards off the bench, and Middleton has nine assists to go with his 10 points.
Game 2: Buck rally from 13 down in the second half, but miss several shots while down two in the final minutes; Kyle Lowry finally hits one for Toronto and the Raptors survive 106-100, sending the series to Milwaukee even at one game apiece.
Game 3: FEAR THE DEER!!!! Bucks jump out to big lead early and coast to a 104-77 win at the Bradley Center. de Rozan held to eight points on 0-8 shooting from the floor. Impressive performance by the home team; hopefully they can keep the momentum Saturday afternoon.
Game 4: Bucks choke up the home court advantage they stole in Game 1, losing 87-76 in a low-energy performance at home. Freak shoots 6-19 and has seven turnovers. de Rozan bounces back to score 33 for Toronto.
Game 5: Bucks stop playing defense, and Norman Powell, drafted by Toronto with a second round pick acquired from the Bucks in the Greivis Vasquez trade, goes off for 25 points as the Raptors roll the Bucks to go up 3-2 in the series.
Game 6: Bucks stage a late rally after trailing by 25 in the third, and take a brief two-point lead, but miss a bunch of free throws in the fourth and fall short, losing 92-89, their second loss in three home playoff games.
Time to prepare for the draft.
