Doc Rivers explains why the Bucks’ comeback fell short in a 111–105 loss to the Raptors on Thursday night.

Brandon Ingram scored 29 points, Scottie Barnes added 24 and the Toronto Raptors beat the slumping Milwaukee Bucks 111-105 on Thursday night.

21-4. That’s the free-throw discrepancy between the Bucks and the Raptors in the second half. The Raptors didn’t get their first free throw until the second half, after the Bucks took 12 in the first half. While they went just 14/21, it was the lift Toronto needed to put the Bucks away.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Chicago Bears wide receivers Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) have both been ruled out for Saturday night’s rematch against the Green Bay Packers, dealing a significant blow to an offense that already knows how unforgiving this rivalry can be.

Exciting finish at the Fiserv Forum, where the Raptors overcame the Bucks 111-105. Toronto dominated most of the game thanks to their efficiency in the paint and from beyond the arc, while Milwaukee tried to respond in the final minutes with Portis and Turner,

In many ways tonight’s matchup lines up well for the Raptors. Giannis is out. The Raptors’ road record of 8-5 is better than the Bucks’ 8-7 record at home. Granted, they are still without RJ Barrett, whose slashing and offensive creation have proven to be sorely missed by the Raptors, who are 12-5 with Barrett and 4-6 without him.

Raptors let the Bucks loiter. By-law enforcement came to sweep. Even though the Raptors maintained the lead, their victory never felt convincing enough.
