Boracay Island, Philippines – Reigning league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo made sure he exacted some sort of revenge against their playoff tormentors last year, as he stuffed the stats sheet with 36 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks to lead the Bucks in toppling the defending NBA Champions Toronto Raptors 115-105 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Saturday night (Sunday morning, Philippine time).
Antetokounmpo also had ample support, as all his teammates contributed in the point-production. Eric Bledsoe had 14 markers to go along with 9 boards and 5 dimes, while fellow starters Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez added 11 apiece for the Bucks, who improved to 4 wins and 2 losses.
Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 36 across his name, while Marc Gasol posted a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Raptors, who dropped to a similar 4-2 win-loss record.
The Raptors will try to bounce back against the Sacramento Kings at home on Wednesday night (Thursday morning, Philippine time).
Meanwhile, the Bucks will travel to Minnesota on Monday night (Tuesday morning, Philippine time) to face the Timberwolves.
How they scored:
Bucks 115 – Antetokounmpo 36, Bledsoe 14, Middleton 11, B. Lopez 11, Brown 9, Divicenzo 8, Hill 7, R. Lopez 6, Korver 6, Ilyasova 5, Matthews 2
