Playoffs Day 31
Pre Game: It’t the 31st day of NBA action as we have Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the #1 Milwaukee Bucks and the #2 Toronto Raptors. This will be another great playoff match up between Giannis and Kawhi.
Game 1: In the only game of the night, Giannis and the Bucks face off against the Raptors led by Kawhi Leonard. The Bucks have had lots of rest coming off of a 4-1 series win over the Boston Celtics. The Raptors are coming off of a tough 7 game series in which Kawhi Leonard hit the game winner at the buzzer to send them to the Conference Finals. This will be no doubt a great series. At the end of the 1st quarter, the Raptors led by 11, 34-23. Leonard and Siakam had 9 points, Giannis had 9 points for the Bucks. At halftime, the Raptors led by 8, 59-51. Leonard and Siakam combined for 26 points, Lopez and Giannis combined for 25 points. The Raptors continued to control the game until the Bucks went on a run and managed to hang on to win 1008-100. Lopez had 29 points, Giannis had 24 points, Brogdon had 15 points in his first game back from injury. Leonard had 31 points, Lowry had 30 points, Siakam had 15 points. The Bucks outscored the Raptors 32-17 in the 4th. The Bucks win their first Conference Finals game since June 2001 against Allen Iverson and the 76ers.
