Raptors 106 (1-1), Bucks 100 (1-1)

The threesome of Giannis Antetokounmpo (24/15/7), Khris Middleton (20/5/2) and Greg Monroe (18/4/1) did their best to steal another one on the road, but the dynamic duo of DeMar DeRozan (23/7/3) and Kyle Lowry (22/4/5) came to play for Toronto, shooting 15-of-30 from the floor combined in the victory. After each team posted 25-plus points in the first three quarters, the Raptors outscored the Bucks 22-17 in a defensive-oriented fourth quarter battle to earn the win.

Bulls 111 (2-0), Celtics 97 (0-2)

The eighth-seeded Bulls have looked like the better team in each of the first two games of the series. Rajon Rondo (11/9/14) nearly posted a triple-double and also had five steals while Jimmy Butler (22/8/8) and Dwyane Wade (22/4/2) combined for 44 points. Isaiah Thomas (20/4/2) played 42 minutes, but was limited by Chicago’s defense, going 6-for-15 shooting, including 1-for-5 from three. Boston shot just 11-of-19 from the free throw line and were outscored in every quarter.

Clippers 99 (1-1), Jazz 91 (1-1)

The Clippers got off to a 29-18 lead after the first quarter and held on. Led by Chris Paul (21/2/10), Blake Griffin (24/5/2) and DeAndre Jordan (18/15/0), Los Angeles shot 52.4 percent and had 26 team assists compared to Utah’s 15. Oddly enough, the Jazz went 17-of-22 from the free throw line while the Clippers went just 5-of-8 on the night. All-Star Gordon Hayward (20/6/2) led the losing side in scoring, but shot just 5-of-15 on the night.
