Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett each scored 23 points as the Toronto Raptors cruised to a 128-100 rout of the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to three games.
Immanuel Quickley and Sandro Mamukelashvili each added 15 points, while Gradey Dick chipped in 14 and Brandon Ingram had 13. The Raptors delivered their largest margin of victory this season, surpassing their 20-point win over Atlanta on October 22.
For Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 22 points, Kyle Kuzma added 18, and Cole Anthony finished with 12. The loss marked the Bucks’ most lopsided defeat of the season, eclipsing their five-point loss to Cleveland on October 26.
Toronto controlled the game from start to finish, dominating inside and limiting Milwaukee to 11-for-38 shooting from beyond the arc — the Bucks’ fewest made 3-pointers of the year.
Barnes briefly left in the second quarter with a left thumb strain, but returned after halftime following X-rays that revealed no fracture. He shot an efficient 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-5 from deep, energizing the Raptors in the second half.
Center Jakob Poeltl also made his return after missing three games with back soreness, contributing eight points and nine rebounds in 20 minutes.
The Bucks, coming off a last-second 117-115 victory in Indiana on Monday, struggled to maintain that momentum on the second night of a back-to-back. They had previously beaten Toronto 122-116 in the Raptors’ home opener on October 24 but failed to replicate that performance.
