Lopez scores 29, Bucks finish with a flourish and rally to beat Raptors 108-100 in Game 1 of East finals
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREMILWAUKEE — Down for most of the game, clearly rusty at times after nearly a full week off, the Milwaukee Bucks looked very much like a team in trouble.The team with the NBA's best record this season found its stride at the perfect time.
"I think it speaks a little bit to the character of the group," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said."They just stick with it. I think it's become a little bit of a theme in the playoffs: I think eventually, hopefully, we feel like if we stick with what we're doing good things will happen for us." Lopez added 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who had three players post double-doubles. Antetokounmpo had 14 rebounds and Khris Middleton finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, which is now 9-1 in this postseason.Didn't matter. They stayed just close enough until they could finish with a serious kick.Pascal Siakam scored 15 for Toronto, including a 3-pointer over Antetokounmpo to end the third quarter and give the Raptors a seven-point lead with 12 minutes left.
With the chants of Milwaukee's motto —"Fear the deer! Fear the deer!" — bouncing throughout the building, the Bucks predictably came out flying.The Bucks missed seven consecutive shots, the Raptors made four 3-pointers in a span of three minutes, and that all helped become a 16-0 run by Toronto that turned an early 8-3 deficit into a 19-8 edge. The lead got as big as 13 later in the quarter on a fadeaway jumper by Leonard, and the Raptors held the lead the rest of the half.
