TORONTO -- Terrence Ross helped the Toronto Raptors put a stop to the Milwaukee Bucks comeback effort.After seeing Milwaukee cut a 26-point deficit to just 10 after three quarters, the reserve swingman scored the first seven points of the fourthto key a 14-2 run and the Raptors pulled away for a 122-100 win Monday night.It was the Raptors sixth straight victory over the Bucks, and their 12th win in the last 13 meetings.We had to pick up our intensity, Ross said after finishing with a season-high 25 points. They made their push, they made their run just like everybody else is going to do, and we had to come back and make ours, and I think the second unit helped do that.While DeMar DeRozan led the way with 30 points in the victory, the Raptors benefited from strong shooting from throughout the lineup. Toronto shot 50.6 percent from the field and 56 percent from 3-point range, improving to 7-1 this season when they shoot 50 percent or better from the field.While acknowledging the contributions of Ross, Toronto coach Dwane Casey tipped his cap to the play of point guard Kyle Lowry, who had 18 points and seven assists, for finding the teams shooters in stride.Kyles doing a good job when theyre trying to blitz him and kicking it out and guys are making shots, Casey said. Like Ive always said when we were struggling shooting, its a make-or-miss league and guys are doing a good job stepping into them with conviction and taking good shots.After losing a third straight game, Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd was less than impressed. Though Giannis Antetokonmpo had 30 points, his fourth 30-point game of the season, Kidd watched as his team missed its first 13 3-point attempts and finish the game shooting 16.7 percent from beyond the arc.After briefly having a lead, Milwaukee gave it up at the 2:52 mark and never came close again. Kidd said his team had made it too easy for one of the NBAs best teams.It was easy the whole night, no matter 3s, layups, (the Raptors) were in character the whole night from the start, he said. We werent, we just didnt put up any resistance, our defense was non-existent.And while seeing DeRozan getting 30 points is hardly new -- it was his 12th such game this season -- Jabari Parker, who had 27, said his team shouldnt be letting a player like Ross burn them.You can let other players get their rhythm still, but him, nothing against him, we cant let the wild card get us like that, he said.TIP-INSBucks: Despite making 10 or more 3-pointers in their last three games, Milwaukee was held to just 4 of 24 from beyond the arc by Toronto. ...
