Raptors take subtle shot at Bucks on Twitter after Game 4 victory
Rejoice and be glad, brethren, for the NBA’s Petty Wars have marched onwards into the postseason.
After the Toronto Raptors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 87-76 in Game 4 on Saturday to even their first-round playoff series at 2-2, they celebrated the win by taking a subtle shot at their Eastern adversaries on Twitter with a GIF of everybody’s favorite animated deer, Bambi.

Of course, this comes after the Bucks trolled the Raptors by playing the “Barney” theme song during player introductions in their 104-77 victory over Toronto in Game 3 (see video here). With the Raptors responding by tying up the series and stealing back home-court advantage, it was only fitting that they would take a shot of their own. But it will be interesting if the NBA sees this as harmless fun or a violation of their recent social media crackdown.
