The Challenge of Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Toronto Raptors fell 122-116 to the Milwaukee Bucks in their home opener, facing a tough matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo, the former NBA MVP.
After a successful season opener against the Atlanta Hawks, the Raptors struggled to defend Giannis's size, power, and agility in the post, sending him to the line multiple times in the first quarter.
As
Giannis isn't a guy to play extended minutes, the Raptors needed to capitalize on the minutes he wasn't on the court, especially early in the season.
The team's inability to do so ultimately led to their 122-116 loss.
