The Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors meet for the first time this season, each coming off encouraging wins in the opening week. Milwaukee leaned on its star power to secure a hard‑fought victory against the Wizards, showing flashes of the offensive balance they’ll need to contend in the East.
Toronto also opened its campaign with a win, relying on defensive pressure and timely shooting to outlast the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors’ length on the perimeter created problems, while their bench provided a steady lift. For a team aiming to prove it can stay competitive in a crowded conference, that first result was an important confidence boost.
