How come a Raptors forward is always in the way of Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo? This time it was third-year power forward Chris Boucher, as the Toronto bench player slammed home a put-back dunk over Antetokounmpo and wing Pat Connaughton on Tuesday night (via NBA TV).

Boucher, 27, an undrafted 6-foot-9 forward from Canada by way of Saint Lucia, has been making great strides in his junior season with the Raptors following a G League stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors and a former two-way contract he signed last season with the Raptors. Boucher represents one of the many players coming through Toronto's development pipeline alongside Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and more.
The Bucks face perhaps their biggest challenge in the defending champion Raptors, who beat them in six games in the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals, winning four straight games after Milwaukee took an early 2-0 lead. The Bucks and Raptors are the top two teams in the east at the moment and Giannis continues to try to vanquish his most omnipresent enemy in the Raptors.
