The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors, 128-112, at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.

The Bucks (7-4) ruled Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ahead of Wednesday's contest, but they looked like they didn't miss a beat during a first half in which they extended a 15-point first-quarter lead to a 23-point halftime advantage. Any hopes for a Raptors (5-6) second-half comeback were essentially then squashed during a third quarter in which Toronto was only able to put a two-point dent in its deficit. Milwaukee shot 51.8 percent, including a blistering 51.3 percent from three-point range.

Damian Lillard led the Bucks with 37 point, complementing them with 13 assists, four rebounds and two steals. Malik Beasley delivered 30 points, four boards and one steal. Bobby Portis turned in 18 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Cameron Payne netted 13 points. Khris Middleton registered 11 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Brook Lopez delivered 10 points, eight rebounds, four assists, seven blocks and one steal.

Scottie Barnes paced the Raptors with 29 points, supplementing them with nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal. Jakob Poeltl generated a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double that included one assist, four steals and two blocks. Pascal Siakam finished with 11 points, seven boards, five assists and one block. Precious Achiuwa and Gradey Dick managed matching 11-point contributions while logging four rebounds and two assists, respectively.

The Bucks next visit the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, while the Raptors remain home and host the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
