The Toronto Raptors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 114-106, in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Monday evening.

The Raptors (51-19) can no longer catch the Bucks (55-16) for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but they still came out with plenty of motivation against a Milwaukee squad playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo (mouth). Toronto turned a five-point first-quarter advantage into a 14-point halftime lead. Milwaukee played much better on the defensive end of the floor during a third quarter where they shaved a point off their deficit, but their best play came during a 13-2 run from the 8;04 to 6:11 marks of the final period. The Bucks would eventually get as close as within six points with 1:21 remaining, but the Raptors were able to close things out with buckets from Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Chris Boucher.

Boucher paced the Raptors with 25 points off the bench, adding 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. Matt Thomas supplied 22 points, four boards and one assist. Norman Powell registered 21 points, eight boards, one assist, three blocks and two steals. Pascal Siakam furnished 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. Hollis-Jefferson contributed 11 points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Terence Davis managed 10 points, three rebounds and one steal.

Kyle Korver led the Bucks with 19 points, supplementing them with four rebounds, two assists and one steal. Khris Middleton finished with 17 points, four rebounds and three assists. George Hill offered 14 points, three assists and two rebounds. Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton mustered 12 points each, with Connaughton adding five rebounds, two assists and one steal. Eric Bledsoe stuffed the stat sheet with 11 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and one block.

The Raptors are back on the court Wednesday evening against the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Bucks face off with the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night.
