THE RUB
- The Bucks had their way with the Raptors in Game 2, cruising to a 125-103 win and taking a 2-0 lead. Giannis with 30 points and 17 rebounds.
- Toronto were behind by 25 at 1/2 time and never got back into it, but coach Nick Nurse isn’t looking to make any big changes in Game 3.
- Ilyasova (17 points), Brogdon (14) and George Hill (13) combined to go 17-of-29 from the floor off the bench in Game 2, with each logging 20+ minutes.
- Marc Gasol struggled to two points on 1-of-9 shooting, fumbling simple passes and just always being almost-there.
- Kyle Lowry scored 30 points on 10-of-15 shooting in Game 1 but slumped to 15 on 4-of-13 in Game 2.
- Like the Raptors to pick up the defense tonight after being schooled in Game 2.
OUR PICK = Under 220.5
