Toronto Raptors: 3 takeaways from win vs. Bucks

The Toronto Raptors ended up victorious from the battle of the titans in the Eastern Conference, earning their first victory against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It is clear who the two best teams in the Eastern Conference are at the moment. The Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks have been on a tear both offensively and defensively to start the season, as they hold the two top seeds in the East.

The Bucks currently hold first place in the standings with the Raptors only being 0.5 games behind them. So it is a real possibility that these teams meet in the playoffs, potentially even in a series to decide the Eastern Conference champions.

The Raptors were seriously shorthanded in this matchup. Missing both Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas, somebody else had to step up and shine during Saturday’s game.

That person turned out to be the entire starting five. Accounting for a whopping 118 out of the total 123 points scored, the Raptors got pretty much everything from their stars.

As the Raptors racked up their first regular season win against the Milwaukee Bucks, following two consecutive losses, here are three takeaways from the big duel.
