SUMMARY
- The Milwaukee Bucks are now on a 3 game losing streak after failing to win against the Raptors.
- The Raptors were on a 15 game losing streak before breaking it against the Bucks.
Things do not appear to be going too well for the Milwaukee Bucks. As the majority of NBA fans will remember, the team made several significant changes to their roster and coaching management in order to improve their chances of winning an NBA championship. While the team does have enough talent and experience in order to make a deep playoff push, their most recent string of losses is undoubtedly a cause for concern.
With only a handful of games left for the 2023-2024 NBA regular season, most contenders have developed a fair amount of team chemistry and momentum. However, the Bucks appear be be going in the opposite direction and have been playing badly recently.
Damian Lillard’s return to the Milwaukee Bucks was dampened with a loss to the Raptors
One could argue that injuries to the main stars such as Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo have played a huge role in the team’s recent lack of success and wins. Some fans might know that Lillard sustained a groin injury and did not play in the past few games for the Bucks.
Although Dame did make his return as expected and scored 36 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds, he was unable to help the Bucks regain momentum as they sustained yet another loss to the Toronto Raptors. Now the Bucks are on a 3 game-losing streak to some of the worst teams in the NBA this season. This is undoubtedly concerning fans regarding the team’s goal of winning an NBA championship this season.
Toronto was on a 15-game losing streak before beating the Bucks
Heading into this game against the Bucks, the Toronto Raptors were on a 15-game-long losing streak and had no hopes of making the playoffs. Their losses came against several bottom-tier teams such as the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons.
