Hapless Bucks lose fourth straight

Talk about it

The Milwaukee Bucks lost their fourth straight game Wednesday night 111-93 at Toronto.

Milwaukee was only down two at the half, but the Raptors out-scored the Bucks 33-20 in the third period.

Milwaukee got to within 10 in the fourth quarter, but Toronto pulled away at the end.

Bucks’ Coach Larry Krystkowiak criticized his team for not passing and missing quick shots, allowing the Raptors to score on a stream of transition baskets.

Five Raptors scored in double-figures, led by Chris Bosh with 32 points and 11 rebounds.

Former Buck T.J. Ford had 14 points and seven assists.

Charlie Villanueva scored a season-high 38 for Milwaukee, which must go 2-2 the rest of the way to match its dismal 28-54 record from a year ago.

The Bucks will play at Boston Friday night.
