"Milwaukee opened its season with a home win over the Washington Wizards - and it came with some added drama. Former Buck Khris Middleton, now a Wizard after being dealt for Kyle Kuzma, made sure his old team didn't forget him, dropping 23 points in his Fiserv Forum return. Kuzma managed just 12 points in response, but Milwaukee got the last laugh with a victory. As usual, Giannis Antetokounmpo powered the Bucks, putting up a monster 37 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists."
"Six other Bucks joined him in double figures, showing off Milwaukee's balanced offensive attack. Former Raptor Gary Trent Jr. served as the team's secondary scorer with 17 points, while Cole Anthony and Ryan Rollins both narrowly missed double digits with nine apiece. New addition Myles Turner struggled from the field (4-for-12, including 2-for-8 from three) but still contributed across the board with eight rebounds, five assists, and three blocks."
Toronto returns to Scotiabank Arena for Game 2 after a 126-106 road win in Atlanta, fueled by a 45-28 third quarter. RJ Barrett scored 25 and Scottie Barnes added 22 as the Raptors displayed a potent offense (Offensive Rating 122.1) and stingy defense (Defensive Rating 104.4). Milwaukee opened 1-0 with a home victory over Washington, buoyed by Giannis Antetokounmpo's 37 points, 14 rebounds and five assists and balanced scoring from multiple teammates. Khris Middleton scored 23 in his return to Fiserv Forum. Myles Turner struggled shooting but contributed across the board, and Kevin Porter Jr. is ruled out two games with an ankle injury.
