Pascal Siakam celebrated his 27th birthday by scoring a season-high 36 points as the Toronto Raptors won the most uneven game in franchise history with a 130-77 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
The Raptors won by 53 points and led by one point by 61 as they gave the Warriors their third worst loss and sixth in their last seven games.
With Stephen Curry and Draymond Green seated, the hapless Warriors looked baffled. Curry was ruled out hours before kickoff with a bruised tailbone and Green scratched himself with a crooked finger.
On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 47 points on 18 of 21 shots from the floor and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks posted a 127-109 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Antetokounmpo also had three blocks to post his third 40-point performance of the season as the Bucks beat the Trail Blazers for the fifth time in a row.
The loss snapped the Trail Blazers’ four-game winning streak and was only their third loss in the last 10 games.

In New York, Luka Doncic scored 13 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter as the Dallas Mavericks beat the New York Knicks 99-86.

In Boston, Jayson Tatum scored 26 points, Jaylen Brown added 22 with 11 rebounds and the Boston Celtics beat the Houston Rockets 118-102.
