Fred VanVleet leads Toronto Raptors past Milwaukee Bucks with 33 points. While Pascal Siakam added 23 for the Raptors and Kyle Lowry scored 18 points in 22 minutes. The ankle problem caused Lowry to go to the locker room late in the first half, though he returned to start the third quarter. After this loss, Milwaukee Bucks have lost their 4th straight game. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo almost recorded his second straight triple-double. Antetokounmpo scored game-high 34 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Bucks have not lost 4 consecutive matches, since blowing away their 2-0 lead against the Raptors in Eastern Conference Finals in 2019.

The Bucks were playing the first of eight straight home games after ending a six-game road trip. This prolonged homestand also gives the Bucks the chance to play in front of spectators at Fiserv Forum for the first time this season. 

Yesterday’s game featured only about 250 invited guests and family members of players in an arena that seats nearly 18,000. But the presence of any fans was welcome to the Bucks, who had seen how much of a difference even a small crowd can make when they played road games against teams that already were welcoming fans. 

OG Anunoby returned to action after missing 10 games with a strained left calf and had 13 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes. Chris Boucher scored 14 points and Norman Powell had 11. 

Pat Connaughton had a season-high 20 points, Bobby Portis scored 16 and DiVincenzo finished with 12.
