Raptors' Barnes was in tough against Bucks 'Force of Nature'
By Tim Wharnsby
TORONTO — Before his Toronto Raptors faced the challenge of defending Milwaukee Bucks standout Giannis Antetokounmpo, head coach Darko Rajakovic called the two-time NBA MVP one of the top three basketball players in the world.
After Antetokounmpo scored 31 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in the Bucks’ 122-116 win, Rajakovic described him as a force of nature.
“I think Giannis is Giannis,” Rajakovic said. “We have to control that better.”
Toronto point guard Immanuel Quickley added:
“He puts a lot of pressure on your defence. He’s almost seven-feet tall, strong, and he can dribble.”
