"He got twins and a 30-point win," Bucks guard Mo Williams saidof Krystkowiak. "What more could he ask for?"


Michael Redd added 17 points, one of six Bucks in double figuresas Milwaukee dished out a season-high 31 assists and remainedperfect at home this season.


"We did a good job of being unselfish," Redd said. "The 31assists stands out more than anything."


Toronto got 18 points from Juan Dixon and 16 from Kris Humphriesoff the bench, but the Raptors played much of the first halfwithout starters Chris Bosh and Jason Kapono, who got into earlyfoul trouble and watched as Milwaukee built a huge first-halflead.


"It's hard to find many guys who did what they were supposed todo," Raptors coach Sam Mitchell said. "The fortunate thing is wehave another game tomorrow, but the unfortunate thing is thatwe don't have a chance to practice to try to clean things up."

The Bucks led by as many as 21 points in the second quarter,52-31, following a 31-15 run that began with 4:23 remaining inthe first quarter. During the run, nine different Bucks scoredled by Redd's nine points.


"We figured at some point, the way this team shoots the ball, wewere going to break out," Brown said. "On both ends of thefloor, we played a complete game."


Mason scored 11 of his 17 first-half points in the first quarterand made all eight of his shots before intermission.

"Tonight the rim was big for me, and it was my night," Masonsaid. "I think my teammates did a really good job of giving methe ball in places where I could operate in space. When I feltlike I was doubled, I kicked it out and guys were knocking downshots all over the place.


Raptors guard T.J. Ford, a former Milwaukee first-round pick,struggled against his former team after averaging 14.3 pointsand 9.8 assists against the Bucks last season. Ford finishedwith eight points on 3-of-10 shooting.


Bosh, who came into the contest averaging 16.7 points, picked uphis third foul early in the third quarter and finished withjust one point and two rebounds in 16 minutes. He did not playin the fourth quarter.


"I was trying to get into it," Bosh said. "I got two quick foulsand that kind of sent me into a downfall."


The Raptors became the first team in NBA history to make a3-pointer in 700 consecutive games.
