Raptors 124, Bucks 83: Kyle Lowry had 20 points and nine rebounds and Louis Williams scored 16 first-half points with the help of four 3-pointers as host Toronto rolled.

Williams finished with a season-best 22 points and Jonas Valanciunas had a season-high 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Raptors, who shot 15-of-25 from the arc in closing out the longest homestead in franchise history with six wins in seven games. Terrence Ross finished with 13 points and three 3-pointers, and Toronto can now focus on a trip to play LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

Rookie Jabari Parker had 15 points for the Bucks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Ersan Ilyasova scored 14 and Brandon Knight added 11 as Milwaukee dropped its fifth straight in the series.

Valanciunas and Lowry combined for 14 early points as the Raptors jumped to a 24-7 lead and Williams closed the quarter with a straightaway 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 10-point edge. The assault really got going in the second when Williams struck again from the right wing to push the edge to 26 before drilling another 3-pointer from straight away to give the Raptors a season-high 71 first-half points and 26-point lead.

Toronto pushed the bulge to 30 barely 90 ticks after intermission when Lowry drove the lane and lobbed a pass to Valanciunas, who slammed it home. Lowry hit consecutive 3-pointers and Ross drained another as the lead ballooned to 94-51 with 4:21 left in the third and Toronto coasted home.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Toronto now has five of its next seven games on the road. … Led by Williams, the Raptors shot 9-of-14 from the arc in the first half. … The Bucks shot just 32.3 percent through three quarters while losing the rebounding battle 42-25.
