After losing to the Pistons at home, the frustrated defending champion Bucks revived the game and ushered in the Raptors' challenge during the three-game winning streak.
In terms of the Bucks, the alphabet brother hangs up the exemption card, and the Bucks, which lacks the main heart of the game, can save face at home, Middleton + Holliday obviously need to come forward.
On the other hand, on the Raptors side, VanVleet + Siakam is ready to go, and the Raptors are also ready to do a big job on the road and take away the victory sword to win 4 consecutive wins!
Finally, after four quarters of fighting, with the excellent performance of Portis + Jordan Walla + Cousins, the Bucks, although in the first half, once overpowered the Raptors, took a 14-point lead.
But after returning from the second half, the Bucks were fully dudded in the third quarter, scoring only 11 points in a single quarter, and Siakam ushered in another outbreak, leading the Raptors to turn the situation on the court in an instant.
Despite the finale, Middleton + Holliday went on to try to lead the Bucks back to take the initiative.
But the Helpless Raptors blossomed more points, blasting out a wave of 17-2 scoring climaxes, completely ending the suspense of the game.
In the end, the Raptors also reversed the Bucks 117-111 on the road, which was worth the trip to win 4 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the Bucks 2 consecutive losses!
On the road in this game, although the Raptors once fell behind by 14 points, fortunately, the team did not mess with itself, but played a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures.
In the case of VanVleet + Anunoby continuing to perform steadily, the play of the two main players Siakam + Trent Jr. is particularly critical!
In this game, Siakam was full of firepower, starting 40 minutes, shooting nearly 60% of the 23 shots, shooting nearly 60% of the time, bombing a game-high 33 points, plus 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block all-round performance.
In the face of the Bucks team that lacked the letter brother, Siakam not only played his own advantage in the front position of this game, but also once became an invincible existence of the Bucks!
In addition, the Raptors were able to complete the reversal in this game, beating the Bucks in the cold, and the performance of Tigers will Gary Trent Jr. is also great.
Trent Jr. lived up to expectations, shooting 8 from the field on 17-throw shooting and hitting three three-pointers from the mid-line, contributing 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.
Among them, in the last quarter, he single-handedly broke through the level and bombarded the 10-point heroic performance, providing the Raptors with powerful firepower at the same time, but also completely disrupted the Bucks' defensive deployment, helping the Raptors completely lock in the victory!
More crucially, after winning four consecutive games against the Bucks in this game, the Raptors also officially came to the 7th place in the East with a regular season record of 18 wins and 17 losses.
Judging from the strength of the Raptors at this stage, although the team experienced a wave of losing streaks at the beginning of the season, after regaining its form, the strength of this Raptors team is obviously still not to be underestimated!
On the other hand, on the Bucks side, although the team once led in this game and played a tenacious performance of 6 people scoring in double figures, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the last quarter, and the game process of being reversed by a wave of flow obviously needs to be examined.
After all, under the efficient performance of Middleton playing well, scoring 25 points + 6 rebounds + 4 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks, Holliday's play in this campaign is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
Although Holliday delivered a double-double performance of 15 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists+ 1 steal and 3 blocks in this game, his shooting rate of only 5 of 15 shots was not efficient.
Coupled with his personal battle also had as many as 8 mistakes, in vain buried a lot of winning opportunities, I have to say that holliday's performance in this game is indeed hard to blame!
In the absence of the alphabet brother, in the face of the raptors who blossomed more points, and the brave Siakam in a state, the Bucks generals who worked hard for a whole game in this battle seemed to have no choice but to admit it.
