Raptors forward Pascal Siakam, right, defends against Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier this season. While the rest of the Bucks embrace the long ball — and while Antetokounmpo shot a verging-on-credible 32 per cent from deep this season — the man they call the Greek Freak is about the short game. He led the league in scoring points around the basket this season, shooting 74 per cent from the restricted area. “You’re gonna have to stand in there (against Antetokounmpo),” Nurse said. “Hopefully we get right back into that same vehicle.” Hopefully that vehicle is reinforced with well-armoured body panels and sufficient horsepower to outspeed a freight train.
