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.
Giannis's size, power, and agility made it difficult for the Raptors to defend him in the post, and he frequently drew fouls, making multiple trips to the line in the first quarter alone.
- Giannis's unique combination of skills makes him a hard match-up for any team.
- The Raptors had previously won their season opener, scoring 138 points against the Atlanta Hawks, but Giannis posed a different challenge.
Giannis isn't a guy to play extended minutes, especially this early in the season.
The Raptors needed to capitalize on the minutes when Giannis was not on the court to gain an advantage.
