TORONTO -- Terrence Ross helped the Toronto Raptors put a stop to the Milwaukee Bucks comeback effort. Justice Hill Womens Jersey .After seeing Milwaukee cut a 26-point deficit to just 10 after three quarters, the reserve swingman scored the first seven points of the fourthto key a 14-2 run and the Raptors pulled away for a 122-100 win Monday night.It was the Raptors sixth straight victory over the Bucks, and their 12th win in the last 13 meetings.We had to pick up our intensity, Ross said after finishing with a season-high 25 points. They made their push, they made their run just like everybody else is going to do, and we had to come back and make ours, and I think the second unit helped do that.While DeMar DeRozan led the way with 30 points in the victory, the Raptors benefited from strong shooting from throughout the lineup. Toronto shot 50.6 percent from the field and 56 percent from 3-point range, improving to 7-1 this season when they shoot 50 percent or better from the field.While acknowledging the contributions of Ross, Toronto coach Dwane Casey tipped his cap to the play of point guard Kyle Lowry, who had 18 points and seven assists, for finding the teams shooters in stride.Kyles doing a good job when theyre trying to blitz him and kicking it out and guys are making shots, Casey said. Like Ive always said when we were struggling shooting, its a make-or-miss league and guys are doing a good job stepping into them with conviction and taking good shots.After losing a third straight game, Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd was less than impressed. Though Giannis Antetokonmpo had 30 points, his fourth 30-point game of the season, Kidd watched as his team missed its first 13 3-point attempts and finish the game shooting 16.7 percent from beyond the arc.After briefly having a lead, Milwaukee gave it up at the 2:52 mark and never came close again. Kidd said his team had made it too easy for one of the NBAs best teams.It was easy the whole night, no matter 3s, layups, (the Raptors) were in character the whole night from the start, he said. We werent, we just didnt put up any resistance, our defense was non-existent.And while seeing DeRozan getting 30 points is hardly new -- it was his 12th such game this season -- Jabari Parker, who had 27, said his team shouldnt be letting a player like Ross burn them.You can let other players get their rhythm still, but him, nothing against him, we cant let the wild card get us like that, he said.TIP-INSBucks: Despite making 10 or more 3-pointers in their last three games, Milwaukee was held to just 4 of 24 from beyond the arc by Toronto. ...

Toronto scored at least 100 points for the 11th straight game, the longest active streak in the NBA.THE CURSE OF VINCE CARTERI dont know, man. Im telling you, I started calling it the curse of Vince Carter.

The previous record was eight, set by his former teammate Lou Williams from March 27th to April 11th, 2015.STATISTICAL ANOMALY?It is a good example of sometimes how analytics dont tell the entire story. It gives you a hint but doesnt tell the entire story because if you can explain to me how we can shoot the ball and score as well as Golden State that would be a good essay. -- Casey after being told that the Raptors and Warriors share the NBA lead for offensive efficiency with a rating of 114.2 points per 100 possessions.UP NEXTBucks: Host Chicago on Thursday night in the first game of a home-and-home series.Raptors: At Philadelphia on Wednesday night, looking for a 14th straight win over the 76ers.

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. NAPA, Calif. -- Raiders defensive back DJ Hayden knows his NFL career might already be at a crossroads after just three seasons.That point was driven home emphatically in the offseason when the team made multiple changes to the secondary, bringing in veteran Sean Smith to pair with David Amerson as the starting cornerbacks.The Raiders also declined to pick up the fifth-year option on Haydens contract, meaning that -- barring a change from Oaklands front office -- the 12th overall pick in the 2013 draft will go into the offseason next year as a free agent.Not that Hayden seems bothered by it one way or the other.The 26-year-old reported to training camp leaner and more muscular as he transitions from playing on the outside to defending the slot receiver.The move has gone smoothly so far, too, as Hayden intercepted a pass from quarterback Matt McGloin and returned it for a touchdown on Saturday then made a nice play to break up a deep throw from Derek Carr on Sunday.I feel like Im more confident, Hayden said Sunday. Its my fourth year, its about time I made some plays. I want to score some touchdowns. Pretty confident I will.Hayden has struggled to live up to expectations after becoming the first first-round pick by Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie.Hayden came out of college having survived a near-fatal heart injury, was plagued by injuries that limited him to 18 games over his first two seasons and has just three interceptions.Last season, Hayden started 13 games, played in all 16 and had a career-best 70 tackles.Now hes moving inside after spending time there last season as the Raiders nickel back while Smith and Amerson start at cornerback.Inside, you have to kind of come at it at a different approach because (receivers have) got so much field to work with, Hayden said. But its pretty much the same thing. `Thats your guy, cover himm. Hayden Hurst Ravens Jersey. I like it, I like it a lot.The Raiders held their first fully padded practice of training camp Sunday and Hayden stood out with his play to break up the pass from Carr.A small step, to be sure, but a signficant one for Hayden.His confidence is really high, Raiders second-year defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. He loves what hes doing. We have competition across the board and hes a competitor so hes fitting right in and competing every day.The challenge for Hayden isnt so much about transitioning to a new position. Its in convincing the coaching staff -- and perhaps other teams around the NFL -- that he can play, and play well, no matter where he lines up.We have a lot of film, a lot of evaluating but hes a really good football player and he really wants to be good, Norton said. Theres really nothing stopping him. Hes a guy that we really see as a guy thats really going to excel this year.Hayden has been one of the few constants in a secondary that has undergone sweeping changes almost every year since McKenzie was hired as general manager in 2012. One of the biggest changes this year has been adjusting to the absence of safety Charles Woodson, who retired last year after 17 NFL seasons.You cant replace Charles Woodson, but we can pick up the slack, Hayden said. Were going to have to because hes not here anymore. Its next man up.Game notes Kelechi Osemele was held out of practice for undisclosed reasons, but coach Jack Del Rio said he expects the veteran left guard to be back on Monday. ...
