Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a dominant performance as the Milwaukee Bucks cruised to a 130–112 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Fiserv Forum, marking their third consecutive win and sixth in seven games.
The Bucks, who are now just one loss behind the New York Knicks in the race for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, maintained their strong form at home. Their current homestand, now 3-0, will conclude with a game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
Following a loss to Portland earlier in the season, Antetokounmpo had urged his teammates to step up and improve. His call seems to have resonated, as the Bucks took control early, opening with a 14-3 run and never relinquishing their lead.
Although the Raptors managed to cut the deficit to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, Milwaukee’s dominance kept them at bay, with the lead stretching to as much as 20 points at times.
Antetokounmpo led the charge with an impressive 35 points and 12 rebounds, while Damian Lillard contributed 26 points and 8 assists. The Bucks’ depth also played a key role, with five players scoring in double figures and the bench adding 44 points.
The loss pushes the Raptors closer to the NBA Draft Lottery, while the Bucks continue to build momentum in their quest for playoff positioning.
