If the game was a proverbial measuring the stick, the Toronto Raptors were proverbially clubbed over the head with it at the Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night. ( Steve Russell / Toronto Star )The win gives Milwaukee, now 37-13, the season series advantage over the Raptors, the first tiebreaker should the teams end the season with identical records. It also means Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff will work at next month’s all-star game, not Toronto’s Nick Nurse and his assistants. The Raptors, who saw a 10-game home winning streak end with the loss, simply fiddled around too much, too early, before trying to mount some miracle comeback. Kyle Lowry was voted in as a backup and will join Kawhi Leonard representing the Raptors next month.
