The Toronto Raptors head home facing a 2-0 deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals after a Game 2 rout at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Toronto fell behind 9-0 with the game just minutes old and never truly threatened the rest of the way, losing 125-103.

The Raptors trailed by 14 points at the end of the first quarter, and by 25 at halftime. Kawhi Leonard finished with a game-high 31 points in defeat, but only two other Raptors finished in double digits.
Fresh off being named an official MVP finalist, Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 30 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the easy victory. Antetokounmpo was also named a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year and made life miserable for the Raptors in the paint.
The series shifts to Scotiabank Arena for Sunday’s Game 3 in what has to be considered a must-win for the Raptors. No team in NBA history has come back to win a series after trailing 3-0.
