Fred VanVleet and the Toronto Raptors are currently taking on the Milwaukee Bucks. VanVleet did something that isn't seen every day, and that's literally shoot the lights out of a building.
Shooting the lights out of a building is an old saying for basketball fans. It's not an actual thing, but it means that a player is shooting so well that they're making the lights turn off.
While that isn't an actual thing, Fred VanVleet made it look like it was. VanVleet pulled up for a midrange jump shot and banged it in, before the lights at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee went off for no real reason.

Fortunately, the game resumed shortly after as the lights went right back on. If they didn't, there would have been a lengthy break.
Toronto fought back from a 10-plus point deficit that they faced early in the first half, with Fred VanVleet playing a major role. With just 12 minutes of court time, VanVleet already has 13 points after making five of his first eight shots, including two from 3-point range.
The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton once again, so Toronto will be confident that they can get back-to-back wins after beating the New York Knicks on Monday night.
