The Milwaukee Bucks left it until late in Game 1 on Wednesday, but in Game 2 on Friday night, they left no doubt.
After showing the rust of a week’s layoff in winning the opener of the Eastern Conference finals, the Bucks took charge of Game 2 early to defeat the visiting Toronto Raptors 125-103 and grab a 2-0 series lead.Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and added five assists for the Bucks.The block might have been what impressed his coach the most.
“We came out and competed from the beginning of the game until the end,” Middleton said. “We had a little rust the first game, and this game we knew we wanted to come out with a full force and a fast pace.”“We were a step too slow on just about everything,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “We didn’t play very well tonight, we played better Wednesday. We were playing uphill for about three quarters. ... We just didn’t do a good enough job of setting ourselves up.
The Bucks, who never trailed on the night, led by as many as 28 points in the third quarter and entered the fourth with a 17-point advantage.
