Down 7... could be (a lot) worse, but they can't start the third slow like they did last game.
Lots of issues. A lot of open looks being passed up by guys who don't want to take the shot when it's there. Ibaka and Gasol both in foul trouble but worse still, completely ineffective - and the whole team has been just #### as far as rebounding goes. I think that's the first half I can remember where Kawhi has been downright bad. VanVleet the only real bright spot - Siakam and Lowry were okay but not really worrisome. No one has really been able to impose themselves in the paint in the Bucks end.

Bucks are probably pretty disappointed to only be up 6.
Basically everything went right for them.
Raptors win this by 10

Lots of foul trouble for the Raptors tonight. This could be bad news for the late game.

But also all of the close (or outright bad) calls seem to be going against them. That foul on Lowry was clearly in the act - that's 2-3 points right there. Then they call Leondard for a push that wasn't a push on a ball that would have been Raptor ball regardless of what he did as they had 3 guys there. That's just in the last couple of minutes.
EDIT: And there's an obvious charge not called.
Obviously they're putting themselves in a place where the refereeing matters, but it's not helping.

Borderline calls all seem to be going one way.

Credit the Bucks, clearly outplaying the Raps tonight. Didn't fold like most people thought.

Yeah, I'm pretty close to turning this off. There really hasn't been any effort this quarter. Letting them get that rebound off the Lopez free throw is pathetic.

I mean a Toronto sports team given the all-time Drake curse. No one actually seriously expected them to win tonight did they?

If this quarter doesn't end within 6 points it is game over.

Problem on the Raps side tonight is no one has the balls to take a shot. Lowry is going for it as is Kawhi. So there’s unnecessary passing because they don’t wanna take the chance. Siakam has been the most disappointing because he can be a game changer though young. The reffing this quarter hasn’t been good but it’s the Raps fault more than anything.

Budenholzer sitting Giannis to start the fourth with their season on the line is bold (and idiotic).

That shot from Powell is really huge. From here on in, we see who has the guts to close it out. Middleton looks pretty scary to me right now, but the Raps have the benefit of experience... but then Kawhi looks pretty tired... gonna be a close one.
