By Wes Goldberg
The Toronto Raptors are absolutely dominating the Milwaukee Bucks, mostly because they are out-hustling them on both sides of the court.

The Toronto Raptors have the best record in the Eastern Conference and aren’t slowing down tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Raptors scored 101 points and held the Bucks to 57 in the first three quarters. Sure, the Raptors are more talented than Milwaukee, but they got it done by out-working them on offense and defense.
Here’s a few highlights of the dominating performance.
In the first quarter we saw a great trap by the Raptors defense that led to a steal and layup in transition by Kyle Lowry.
Then we saw a terrific effort by Amir Johnson for the trailing block in the paint.
Later in the first quarter, Jonas Valanciunas rebounded a miss by Lowry over two Bucks and got the put back to extend the double-digit lead.
While the East has been handed to the battling hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, the Raptors are still sitting at the top of the conference and should be taken seriously as contenders. With little turnover during the offseason, they have the best chemistry in the East and have two stars between Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.
