The six-seed Milwaukee Bucks shocked the three-seed Toronto Raptors on their home court in Game 1, picking up an impressive 97-83 victory in front of a hostile road crowd. Toronto took a 51-46 lead into halftime, but Milwaukee really clamped down on the defensive end in the second half. The Raptors were limited to a paltry total of 32 points in the third and fourth quarters, as they shot just 20% from the floor. The huge Bucks win broke a long-running drought while extending Toronto’s streak of Game 1 incompetence.
The Raptors lost Game 1 again.

Unsurprisingly, Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the load for the Bucks. The 22-year-old scored 28 points on 13-of-18 shooting from the floor while adding eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block. The man is a real life cheat code.

For the Raptors, DeMar DeRozan lead the way with 27 points on 7-of-21 shooting from the floor. While he wasn’t very efficient, he did make 13-of-14 from the charity stripe and chip in eight rebounds. But his backcourt mate Kyle Lowry was totally awful, scoring just four points on 2-of-11 shooting from the floor.
