The Toronto Raptors‘ losing streak is over, as they managed to take down the Milwaukee Bucks in a shocking 117-111 upset, finally snapping their season-high 15-game losing streak on Friday.

It’s been a long time since the Raptors got to celebrate, but thanks to 31 points from Gary Trent Jr. and 25 from Immanuel Quickley, the rag-tag team left shorthanded by a plethora of injuries managed to string something together and take down Milwaukee, despite 36 points from Damian Lillard.

The last time the Raptors won was over a month ago in a 111-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets. That victory was the only thing standing between them and a franchise-record 18-game losing streak, as they had lost the two games prior. The 15-game skid was their second-longest in franchise history.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, faces some burning questions of their own, as they’re now in the midst of a three-game losing streak, with the losses coming against the less-than-impressive Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies.
