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.
After a successful season opener against the Atlanta Hawks, scoring 138 points, the Raptors faced a tougher challenge in Giannis, whose size, power, and agility made him difficult to defend in the post.
Giannis isn’t the same battle as the defence-averse Hawks
The Raptors needed to capitalize on the minutes when Giannis was not on the court, as he doesn't play extended minutes, especially early in the season.
