Raptors vs. Bucks results: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez lead Bucks comeback in Game 1 image

Brook Lopez was the unlikely star as the Bucks fought back to beat the Raptors 108-100 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Lopez finished with a double-double (29 points, 11 rebounds) and drained four triples. When the ball found him in crucial moments, 'Splash Mountain' didn't miss.

He also dropped a memorable mean-mug that will live on in GIF format for centuries.

Kyle Lowry went some way to cleaning up his reputation in Game 1s, keying a big early Toronto lead and finishing with 30 points and 7-of-9 on threes.

Lowry shared the bulk of the offensive work with Kawhi Leonard, who finished with 31 points. It took Leonard 26 shots to get to that total, but he did head to line 10 times.

Raptors vs. Bucks: Live score, updates from Game 1

Final - Bucks 108, Raptors 100

The Lowry-led Raptors started strong on the road, but Brook Lopez and the Bucks overpowered Toronto. Game 1 sets the stage for what should be a fantastic series.

Fourth quarter, 1:55 - Bucks 104, Raptors 100

Brook Lopez has 29 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, but his swagger is just as impressive. Lopez mean mugs after every big play and the Milwaukee crowd loves him.

 

 

Fourth quarter, 3:40 - Bucks 98, Raptors 98

Kyle Lowry is painting a playoff masterpiece, the best of his career. 30 points, 10-of-13 shooting, 7-of-8 from deep. Add seven rebounds into the mix. What a performance.

 

 

Fourth quarter, 6:45 - Bucks 96, Raptors 91

Kyle Lowry can't miss for the Raptors (23 points on 8-of-11 shooting) but the Bucks have been at their dangerous best when they get on the fast break.

End of third quarter - Raptors 83, Bucks 76

Toronto is still holding on to a slim lead as they turn for the last quarter.

 

 

 

Third quarter, 9:30 - Raptors 61, Bucks 55

Eric Bledsoe is at his best when he's rolling downhill, so this is a great sign for the home team.

 

 

Kawhi Leonard is still getting friendly bounces. He has surely made a deal with the devil.

 

 

Halftime - Raptors 59, Bucks 51

Late Bucks run aside, this half belonged to Toronto. The Raptors have been playing a nice style of pass-first ball.

 

 

Second quarter, 6:28 - Raptors 42, Bucks 37

The Bucks have made their move back into the game and the star of the show is Brook Lopez. He leads all scorers with 11 points and is mopping up on the offensive glass.

 

 

Second quarter, 8:43 - Raptors 40, Bucks 28

Milwaukee looks out of sorts. They aren't shooting threes well (hitting 4-of-18) and can't stop the Raptors when they break.

 

End of first quarter - Raptors 32, Bucks 33

The Raptors are keeping the Milwaukee crowd really quiet. Pascal Siakam has dropped nine points and this hammer.

 

 

Kyle Lowry has taken bucketloads of criticism all postseason, but he's locked in early.

 

Four minutes in and Giannis has six points, a block and a steal. Business as usual for the Greek Freak.

 

Pregame

Kawhi Leonard will need to have a monster series for the Raptors to move on.

 

 

Adding to the Bucks' depth advantage is their fresh legs — Milwaukee has played nine playoff games while Toronto has been through 12.
