Solving the Giannis Problem
The Toronto Raptors lost 122-116 to the Milwaukee Bucks in their home opener, struggling to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo, the former NBA MVP.
After a successful season opener against the Atlanta Hawks, the Raptors faced a tougher challenge in Giannis, who brought his unique combination of size, power, and agility to the game.
Giannis isn’t the same battle as the defence-averse Hawks
The Raptors needed to capitalize on the minutes when Giannis was not on the court, as he is not suited for extended playing time, especially early in the season.
- Giannis's presence made it difficult for the Raptors to defend him in the post.
- He frequently drew fouls, resulting in multiple trips to the line in the first quarter alone.
