DeRozan takes blame for Raptors' Game 3 loss: 'I let my team down'

After failing to record a field goal in Thursday's Game 3 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, DeMar DeRozan is well aware he'll need to play better for the Raptors to have any shot at winning their first-round matchup.

"There's another side of me that's going to come out for having a game like that, feeling like I let my team down," DeRozan said Friday.

While a number of Raptors struggled against Milwaukee, DeRozan was arguably the worst of the bunch, scoring just eight points and recording three turnovers in the 104-77 loss.

Other than a strong performance in a Game 2 victory, the 27-year-old has struggled with efficiency throughout the playoffs, shooting just 34 percent from the field, while failing to hit a single 3-pointer.

DeRozan isn't the only one to take the blame for the Raptors' struggles, as head coach Dwane Casey also accepted responsibility for Thursday's loss.

"It's all of us," Casey said. "We didn't coach a good game, we didn't play a good game. So it's all of us together. We're all in it."

DeRozan and Co. will look to bounce back on Saturday at the Bradley Center.
