Bucks shoot lights out, crush Raptors 112-85

?????????????????????????????????????? 
Perhaps if Milwaukee Bucks head coach Larry Krystkowiak took a game off every now and then, the Bucks would shoot like they did tonight; the basketball rims seemed as large as the ocean, so to speak.? The Bucks coach left the team to be present for the birth of twins to him and his wife.? The Bucks shot 60% from the floor, including forward Desmond Mason’s perfect 10-for-10, as they crushed the Toronto Raptors 112-85 Tuesday night in Milwaukee.
For the majority of the game, it appeared the Bucks would eclipse the team shooting percentage record (vs. Sacramento on December 15, 1985).? They were shooting at a 65% clip with 5 minutes left in the game, but bouts of sloppiness denied them that record.? Toronto, on the other hand, shot a paltry 41% from the floor.? Six Bucks were in double-figures, led by the aforementioned Mason with 21 points; guard Michael Redd added 17 and forward-center Andrew Bogut chipped 12 and 11 rebounds.?
The Raptors starting five scored a total of 28 points; forward Chris Bosh was held to only 1 point.? Their top scorer was reserve guard Juan Dixon with 20 points and reserve forward Kris Humphries adding 16 and 9 boards.? Milwaukee (2-2) doesn’t play again until Friday when they fly to Houston to face the Rockets while the 2-2 Raptors return to Toronto to host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
