The Bucks' roster is a very deep one and it was just about time everyone showed up as the bench players combined for 54 points with Ersan Ilyasova leading the charge with 17 points. He was well supported by the 2017 Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, who had 14 points and George Hill 13.

While the Bucks' starters did set the tone for the bench players to come out and do their job, credits need to be given to the bench for doing exactly that. They were aggressive and did not show any signs of nervousness.

Even though this was just Brogdon's third playoffs game this season, he looked really confident and shot 5-for-10 from the field, including 3-for-6 from beyond the arc. With the Bucks getting outscored by the Raptors 31-16 in the first nine minutes of the third quarter, the lead was cut down to just 13 points from 26 at halftime.

However, Brogdon and Hill made some key plays to push the lead further and the Bucks eventually ended up blowing out the Raptors. For the Raptors, only Norman Powell ended up in double-digits with 14 points.
