Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo puts on a show in playoff win over Toronto
TORONTO — With under two minutes remaining Saturday, Raptors star DeMar DeRozan rose majestically and extended the hand holding the ball towards the rim.
Beneath the basket, Giannis Antetokounmpo elevated like Inspector Gadget and sent the ball flying with his right hand. Then as DeRozan fell away to the right of the basket, the Milwaukee Buck known as the Greek Freak celebrated to the left.
Leading by 19, Milwaukee had the game well in hand. But it was an exclamation point for the young Bucks en route to their 97-83 upset win over Toronto in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
The 22-year-old Antetokounmpo pumped his right hand and gave DeRozan a look over his shoulder, earning a somewhat questionable technical foul.
