The Milwaukee Bucks are the lone NBA team still standing undefeated.

Without the services of All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo on Monday night, Milwaukee held down its home floor at the Fiserv Forum and blew out the 6-0 Toronto Raptors with a 124-109 victory to improve to 7-0 on the season.

Antetokounmpo was sidelined after being placed in the league's concussion protocol following an inadvertent elbow from Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon over the weekend. The Raptors, meanwhile, were without the services of Kawhi Leonard (rest), OG Anunoby (personal), and Fred VanVleet (toe).

Monday's matchup marked the first time in NBA history that two 6-0 teams had ever gone head to head.

The Bucks had seven players score in double figures, led by Ersan Ilyasova's 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting. The starting backcourt of Malcolm Brogdon and Eric Bledsoe each contributed 17 points.

Milwaukee's 7-0 record is tied for the best start in franchise history. It was last accomplished by the 1971-72 Bucks, who went on to win 63 games.

The Bucks will aim to continue their perfect run when they visit the Boston Celtics on Thursday. The Raptors, meanwhile, are back in action Tuesday when they return home to host the Philadelphia 76ers.
