The Milwaukee Bucks posted a dominant victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. Milwaukee improved to 18-16 on the season with a 128-104 victory over Toronto. Even though they’ve climbed out of the 1-6 hole they started in, they have a lot of work ahead of them to get back to the top of the conference.
Giannis Antetokounmpo will obviously be the centerpiece of this round. However, after the victory over the Raptors, Giannis had to improve.

“I’m fine,” Antetokounmpo said later. “My finger is a little numb, but I’m fine. I played in the second half. They’re just stitches. I’m not going to think about it too much.”
Antetokounmpo is the NBA’s leading scorer with an average of 31.6 points per game.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said the cut bothered Antetokounmpo, but not enough for him to miss the game.
“He didn’t want to leave because he felt like he could finish, but he was still bleeding,” Rivers said. “He was definitely effective, but you could see it really hurt his ball-handling a little bit.”
Giannis has been in a really good situation lately. Here’s a recap of his last five games:
