NRL News: Another mega star player Is committed to Milwaukee due to ….
Well, the Toronto Raptors’ 15-game losing streak came to an end Friday night as the team played the Milwaukee Bucks on the road. They were able to secure the tight 117-111 win over the Bucks, who are under-performing despite coming into the season with championship aspirations.
Milwaukee started by trading for Damian Lillard and hiring first-time head coach and former Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin to lead the team. Halfway through the season, they let Griffin go, hiring Doc Rivers to take over the head coaching position. That has not seemed to work out either, as the Bucks are now on a three-game losing streak and couldn’t manage to get the win against the Raptors.
Toronto came into this game as the underdogs, anticipating facing Giannis Antetokounmpo despite being undersized in the frontcourt. Giannis ended up being out for the game, but the Raptors still had Damian Lillard and a talented Bucks team to face.
The Raptors actually got some of their players back from injury, adding some fresh legs to their roster. All of Gary Trent Jr., RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley played together, with Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji returning to the lineup as well after missing time.
It was the team’s most cohesive performance since the beginning of March when they lost Scottie Barnes to a fractured hand injury. Trent, Quickley, and Barrett each scored 20+ points to help propel the team to a victory, avoiding creeping closer to the team’s worst losing streak in franchise history.
