Alijah Martin’s career game helps short-handed Raptors beat the Bucks 121-107 in NBA Cup game
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Alijah Martin delivered a career-high 27 points, while RJ Barrett also contributed 27 points, as the short-handed Toronto Raptors edged past the Milwaukee Bucks 121-107 in an NBA Cup game on Friday night. The Raptors, who were without seven-time all-NBA selection Kawhi Leonard (knee), two-time All-Star Scottie Barnes (groin) and starting guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring), overcame the absence of key players with Martin's stellar performance.
Martin shot 9 of 11 overall and 6 of 7 from three-point range, breaking his career-high for three-pointers made. Toronto outscored Milwaukee 70-47 in the second half, improving their record to 1-1 in NBA Cup group play, while the Bucks fell to 0-1. The Raptors will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, and the Bucks will host the Boston Celtics on Sunday night.
