The Bucks had 19 turnovers which was 5 more turnovers in the game than the Raptors especially in the first half the Raptors had a get great opportunities to take the lead as they only had 5 turnovers which was half of the Bucks 10 turnovers but the Bucks also shot over 56% in the half and had 58 points and were up 7 @ half. Mike Dunleavy had 16 of the 30 second quarter while DeRozan had 8 of the Raptors 29 first quarter points and ended up with 13 points @ half and Stephen Jackson scored 7 of the 9 Bucks points in a 9-2 run to end the half.
In the second half the Bucks got open threes just like the first half and ended the game 12 of 25 from beyond the arc with former Raptor Carlos Delfino was 6 of 8 from beyond the arc as he had nobody on him and ended up with 25 points and had 9 boards. Drew Gooden had 20 points and 14 boards while Dunleavy had 18 points and 7 boards and Stephen Jackson had 17 points in the game.
The Raptors just like Monday's game against the Wizards shot a lot of threes as they shot 24 and made 9 of them and shot a lot of long jumpers and had only 17 free throws compared to the 24 threes while the Bucks shot 37 free throws and made 27 of them. The Bucks also got down more boards than the Raptors (47-41) and key ones in the fourth quarter as the Bucks up 6 missed a three from Brandon Jennings who ended up following his miss and got the board to give him a tip in and then just could not get rebounds so they were not able to get stops and it lead to the Bucks 105-99 victory.
DeRozan did lead the Raps with 25 points but he took 6 threes and hit 4 of them but only went to the line 3 times and Kleiza was 6 of 7 from the line and had 12 points and 8 boards and Calderon had 15 assists but was 4 of 12 from the floor while Jerryd Bayless left the game in the third quarter and did not return and it might case him to play too many minutes which is not positive. James Johnson had 15 points (7 of 11 from the floor) and 7 boards while Ed Davis was good on the boards with 7 boards and from the line with 4 of 4 but ended up 1 of 6 from the floor in 24 minutes. Amir still not completely focus with the game as he was only 3 of 5 from the floor and had 6 boards while Barbosa still not 100% as he had 11 points and only 2 free throws and he needs to get to the line more.
The Raps are 3 and 7 @ home and now have 6 more games @ home before a single game on the road and need to control their own floor
