Giannis Antetokounmpo had 19 points and 19 rebounds, Khris Middleton scored 22 points and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Toronto Raptors 108-97 on Tuesday night in a matchup between the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Eric Bledsoe scored 17 points and Brook Lopez had 15 as the NBA-leading Bucks won their fifth straight and 18th of 20. Milwaukee (50-8) was playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning in overtime at Washington Monday. Antetokounmpo finished with eight assists, narrowly missing a triple-double.
Behind by 12 points late in the second quarter, the Bucks rallied to beat the Raptors in their first game in Toronto since losing Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals last May, completing a disappointing collapse after winning the first two games of that series at home. The Bucks beat the Raptors 115-105 when the teams met in Milwaukee on Nov. 2. They’ll face each other again in consecutive games on April 1 and 3. Pascal Siakam scored 22 points and Fred VanVleet had 14 as the defending NBA champion Raptors lost for the second time in 19 games. Toronto was beaten at home for the first time since Jan. 12 against San Antonio, ending a nine-game run. The Bucks host Oklahoma City on Friday.

The NFL Draft isn’t that far off and the Scouting Combine is taking place in Indianapolis. General Manager Brian Gutekunst was asked what changes could be expected. “The challenges that we face next year can be completely different, what the 49ers were this year…somebody else could be that and we have to prepare to beat them too,” Gutekunst said. “I think we just have to continue to build our team and deal with challenges that come our way and we don’t know those yet.” Here’s what head coach Matt LaFleur said. “Every year, this league is so competitive and every year, has its own set of challenges,” LaFleur said. “I think you just have to take it one day at a time.” Gutekunst he is looking for one thing. “We’re looking for consistency,” Gutekunst proclaimed. “Consistency of performance on tape, consistency with their work habits, what their decision making is because I think we are studying past history because it’s the best predictor of the future success.”
