Antetokounmpo had 40 points and 12 rebounds and Khris Middleton added 21 points for the Bucks. Giannis is just great.

Raptors hang on to defeat Bucks 97-93 as Fred VanVleet steals the show
Even with guys out of the lineup, the Raptors have a bunch of good players; all they’ve ever needed was a little help. At long last, Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam got the requisite complementary support for a win on Thursday night, as Toronto took down the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks to snap a three-game slide, 97-93. As get well games go, this wasn’t exactly a soothing balm a blowout over the Kings or Rockets or some other trash can team would have been.
