The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking for a better result when they visit the Toronto Raptors for the second time in two weeks Wednesday night.
The Bucks were dominated 130-111 on their first visit of the season to Toronto on Nov. 1.
Both teams go into Wednesday after winning on Monday.
The Raptors returned from a 2-2 road trip and opened a four-game homestand with a 111-107 comeback victory over the Washington Wizards after trailing by 23 points.
The Bucks, who had lost their previous two games, defeated the visiting Chicago Bulls 118-109.
In their game against Washington, the Raptors still trailed by 15 points early in the fourth quarter and finished the game on a 21-1 run.
Pascal Siakam hit the go-ahead basket with eight seconds to play and finished with a season-best 39 points — 29 in the second half.
It was the fourth-largest comeback in franchise history and the team’s second largest fourth-quarter comeback.
The Raptors overcame a 22-point deficit to defeat the host San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 5.
Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic awarded the team’s “person-of-the-game” chain to Chris Boucher.
Boucher provided a spark from the bench with seven points, seven rebounds and three blocks.
They’ve got to stay ready and that’s why tonight the chain went to Chris Boucher.”
At halftime with the Raptors down 19 points, Rajakovic told his team to focus on more than the score.
The Raptors were without OG Anunoby (lacerated finger) and Gary Trent Jr. (plantar fasciitis).
The Bucks will be without a key player, Jae Crowder, who is having surgery to repair a left adductor and abdominal tear.
Crowder left the loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday and is expected to be out for about eight weeks.
Antetokounmpo had 35 points and 11 rebounds on Monday, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter.
