Ersan Ilyasova scored 19 of his season-high 29 points in first half for the Bucks, who have lost six in a row. Brandon Knight (16) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (11) were the only other players to reach double figures.
Lowry had 10 points and Toronto shot 10-for-16 from the field en route to a 38-24 first-quarter lead. Five straight points from Patterson stretched the advantage to 19, but Ilyasova knocked down a pair of 3-pointers and added a transition slam dunk late as the Bucks entered the break down 58-50.
Toronto used an 8-0 spurt highlighted by a Lowry 3-pointer to stretch the advantage back to 15 with 7:54 left in the third quarter, and fended off a series of Milwaukee spurts the rest of the way to lead 88-73 entering the fourth. A Chuck Hayes turnaround jumper in the lane gave the Raptors a 96-75 advantage and the Raptors eventually built the lead to 31.
