Brandon Ingram poured in 29 points and Scottie Barnes added 24 points and 11 rebounds as the Toronto Raptors knocked off the struggling Milwaukee Bucks 111–105 on Thursday night.
Toronto secured its second straight road win after snapping a four-game losing streak earlier in the week with a victory in Miami. The Raptors overcame their own injury concerns, playing without RJ Barrett (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (lower back).
Milwaukee, meanwhile, continued to sputter without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed his fifth consecutive game while recovering from a right calf strain. The Bucks were also without Kyle Kuzma due to illness and have now dropped 12 of their last 15 games.
Sandro Mamukelashvili contributed 18 points for Toronto, while Jamal Shead and Immanuel Quickley each handed out 10 assists. Barnes’ all-around effort anchored a Raptors lineup that controlled the game down the stretch.
For Milwaukee, Bobby Portis finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, Kevin Porter Jr. added 22 points and 13 assists, and Myles Turner chipped in 21 points.
The Bucks briefly took the lead in the third quarter after erasing an 11-point first-half deficit, but Toronto answered quickly. Barnes converted a three-point play to reclaim the advantage, and the Raptors stayed in front the rest of the way.
Milwaukee cut the deficit to three midway through the fourth, but Toronto responded with a decisive run. Quickley’s late baskets sealed the win and halted any comeback hopes.
