RAPTORS 102 BUCKS 98...DINOSAURS almost get struck by a DEER...the Atlantic Division leading TORONTO RAPTORS star in "ESCAPE from Beer Town USA" #TORvsMIL

The Toronto Raptors on the 2nd leg of a back to Back Home/Motel stays in the 3rd slot in the East after getting by the Milwaukee Bucks 102-98. The Bucks to their credit didn't play like a Team that is #Tank4Jabari or cashed it in for the 2-13-14 season.

The Dinosaurs leading 28-22 after one was ambushed in the 2nd frame as the Bucks behind some of their young pieces had the Bucks leading 56-47 at the break. Bucks dba "Fear the Deer" in this one led 76-75 after three showing the Atlantic Division leading Raptors they were going right to the finish. The Raptors then rode All-Star DeMar DeRozan to the finish line as he gets 13 of his 23 points in the 4th doing what All-Stars do. The Raptors "Big" Jonas Valanciunas has gotten his 2nd wind as he added 17 points and thirteen boards, It was the play though of PG Greivis Vasquez who had a game-high 26 points and four helpers playing in the absence of Kyle Lowry that was huge for the Dinosaurs.

2nd Year Bucks Lottery Pick John Henson led Milwaukee with 23 points, nine Oranges, six helpers, and three blocks off the bench. Kris Middleton added 20 points as the Bucks at 14-63 W-L shot 1 for 9 from the Arc. Jeff Adrien added 19 points and a dozen Oranges as the Bucks need more Firepower on the Wing like Jabari Parker.  
   
Raptors move to 45-32 tied with the Bulls for 3rd in the East as the Bulls are 4th with Toronto getting #3 for leading their Division.
