This game had Brook Lopez's name written all over it as the 31-year-old had a strong night and scored a team-high 29 points, leading the Bucks over Raptors. He also had 11 rebounds to put together a double-double along with 4 huge blocks.

This year, Lopez shot a career-best 35.2% from the three-point field and spaced the floor nicely for the Bucks. Against the Raptors, he provided them a much-needed spark to begin the fourth quarter, knocking down two back-to-back deep three-pointers to cut the Raptors' lead to 1 point.

With 1:55 left in the fourth quarter, he made a 25-foot three-point jumper that gave the Bucks a 4-point lead. He also had a nice block on Kawhi in the clutch and made his presence felt on both ends of the floor, snagged 4 offensive rebounds.
