The Toronto Raptors are in the loss column for the first time this season after falling 122-116 to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night inside Scotiabank Arena.

The Raptors held up with the Bucks as best as they could and even went into the third quarter tied, but Milwaukee pulled away late and captured victory to improve to 2-0 on the season while Toronto regressed to 1-1.

The Raptors fought until the bitter end, which is a positive sign for what's to come with the team, but the difference between them making and missing the playoffs could be these tight games decided by just a couple possessions.

The team is back in action on Sunday as they travel to the Lone Star State to take on No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.
