Bucks Bounce Back with Giannis` Triple-Double

The Milwaukee Bucks showcased a dominant performance against the Toronto Raptors, winning 128-104 on January 6, 2025. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the charge with an impressive triple-double, recording 11 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds. This marked his fourth triple-double of the season, highlighting his all-around impact on the game.

Damian Lillard was a key contributor, scoring 25 points, including a stellar third quarter where he made all five of his field goal attempts. Bobby Portis added 20 points, while Gary Trent Jr. faced his former team and scored 17 points. Brook Lopez also chipped in with 16 points. The Bucks' bench was particularly effective, outscoring the Raptors' bench 63-24, and at one point, Milwaukee held a commanding 33-point lead.

For the Raptors, RJ Barrett led the scoring with 25 points, followed by Scottie Barnes with 21 points. Jakob Poeltl contributed 12 points, while both Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick added 11 points each. However, Toronto struggled significantly with their three-point shooting, making only 9 of 35 attempts, while the Bucks excelled from beyond the arc, outscoring the Raptors 66-27.

This victory was crucial for the Bucks, who had been on a rough patch, losing two straight games and four of their last five. They will look to build on this momentum as they prepare to host the San Antonio Spurs next. Meanwhile, the Raptors will embark on a three-game road trip, starting with a matchup against the New York Knicks.
